MIAMI – No, not the type of double digits of choice.
But the double digits of reality.
So make it a 10-game losing streak for the Miami Heat, this time done in by an opponent with a streak of its own, the Houston Rockets extending their winning streak to nine with a 102-98 decision Friday night at Kaseya Center.
At 29-41, it officially means the Heat will go without a winning season for the first time since 2018-19, when they closed 39-43.
Combined with the Orlando Magic’s Friday night victory over the Washington Wizards, it makes it further likely that the Heat will be playing in the Nos.
