Miami Heat: A re-emerging Kendrick Nunn leads them to victory over Toronto
The Miami Heat had a tough contest before them on Wednesday night as they would face the Toronto Raptors. Unlike any other typical season, this road trip wasn’t one that saw the Heat travel beyond the northern borders of the country though.
Due to the health and safety protocols put into place by Canada, the Toronto Raptors were forced to hold up in Tampa this season to cut back on all of the going and coming into the country. It makes total sense though, so there’s that.
With that in mind, there was still a game to be played. Everyone knew that, but one guy came in more knowing that any other it seemed.

Kendrick Nunn was an absolute stud for the Miami Heat against Toronto.
That guy was Kendrick Nunn. He was cooking from the start.
He pretty much continued to do so for the entire game. This was the Kendrick Nunn Show, literally.
He scored, he assisted, he defended, he rebounded, he ran the team. He was simply magnificent.
Some might call this a fluke, but after this showing and his showing in Detroit on Monday, I think we can officially say that he’s back. He won on Monday night and he won again tonight.
With that though, it brings up an interesting question. Many of us have believed that if there was a guy that would be moved by the Miami Heat, then it would be Kendrick Nunn.
Is that still the case? I would say that those chances are around 50/50.
He has been this guy twice in a row now, so you would believe that he can continue to do this with somewhat regularity. Is that good enough to keep him over what he could help bring back from a team in a trade though?
His deal is a good one, from a team perspective. That could be a reason to keep him around or the best trade pitch in the league right now.
Who knows? Either way, Wednesday night was, again, his night.
In a Miami Heat victory, K.Nunn finished with 28 points, five assists, and eight rebounds on 4-6 shooting from deep. Mind you, he did all of this off the bench, though in 35 minutes.

We shall see how things progress, but until something happens, we like what we stand to get from him on a nightly basis. If he stays, this is something great to keep building on.
