Takeaways from the Miami Heat win vs. the Milwaukee Bucks: The Heat embody team basketball
For the entirety of the game, it was clear what the game plan was – move the ball, play great defense, and do whatever it takes to find open shots.
Well, the Miami Heat just did, scoring 137 points in their first game of the season. The craziest part about it, though, is that it was far from a one-man show.
Usually, when a team scores a ton of points it’s one or two players doing most of the damage. Just look at what Stephen Curry and Jaylen Brown have done in recent days.

However, the Heat scored their points in a different way. Three players scored 20 or more points, one more had over ten, but no one else eclipsed the double-digit mark.
13 different players scored for the Miami Heat last night. The only player who touched the floor and didn’t score a point was two-way player Marcus Garett.
Erik Spoelstra played everyone on the roster outside of Udonis Haslem. It was a truly incredible thing to watch the Heat get contributions from everyone.
Sure, the Milwaukee Bucks were missing a couple of key players, but that doesn’t take away from how good the Heat looked. They deserve all the credit in the world for how well they played on both ends of the floor.
