The good news is, the Miami Heat are taking on the 19-46 Phoenix Suns on Monday, March 5. The bad news is, the fourteenth Western Conference team plays a fast game of basketball.
Something that even an usually speedy Goran Dragic fell victim to, against the Los Angeles Lakers last week.
Last Thursday, in the Heat’s worst loss of the season, the Lakers came out on top, 131-113. This was mostly due to Miami’s collapse on the defensive end, which in large part was thanks to the visitors pushing the pace. With gunners Wayne Ellington and Tyler Johnson sidelined, Miami’s remaining personnel just couldn’t keep up.
