The Miami Heat are coming off one of their more successful sequences of the year. Here are three positives from their most recent back to back wins.
The Miami Heat needed to start winning again consistently in the worst way. Out of their 13 games in the month of February, they needed to close out the month with two back to back wins against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday and the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday to finish the month above .500. They just did that with a record on the month of 7-6.
Looking even deeper into the scenario, prior to the back to back set against the Mavericks and the Nets but since coming back from the All-Star break, the Miami Heat had a record of 1-3. To make things even worse, all three of those losses came to teams that not only have sub .500 records, but that will also all be in top-5 pick territory at the end of the year. Things were ugly.
Well, then there was Friday. After hitting rock bottom and what seemed like the lowest of the low after the Minnesota game based on post-game comments from the team, they came out on a mission Friday.
They continued this mission on Saturday, but also to their credit, not without enduring adversity. In any event, here are three signs of positivity that arose from those back to back wins to close out the month.
