During the Miami Heat’s recent West Coast road trip, I wrote a blog post here titled, “How real is the Victor Oladipo offensive resurgence?” Now, after a couple weeks, we know it wasn’t just a fluke. Oladipo is rounding into form, and it’s become an exciting development during this otherwise dreary Heat season. (On a related note, the Heat are four games above .500 for the first time.)
Oladipo scored 10 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter of the Heat’s win over the Milwaukee Bucks yesterday. He played so well that Miami could afford to keep Jimmy Butler resting on the bench for the entire period.
