Five takeaways from the Heat’s 89-88 loss to the Sacramento Kings Thursday night at AmericanAirlines Arena:
1. The Heat has a vice – it has a habit of performing poorly against bad teams. If you are trying to figure out who this team really is you are not alone. For every big win the Heat has pulled off this season – Boston (twice), at Toronto, at Minnesota – it feels like Miami has matched it with an equally ugly loss – Brooklyn (twice), at Chicago and now at home to the Kings.
Sacramento (15-33) came in tied for the worst record in the league and has the worst offensive, defensive and net rating in the league.
