The Miami Heat entered Wednesday night’s game off of an ugly win the previous night over the Detroit Pistons. Thinking that a win… like that… would propel them to play a more complete game on the following night, it wasn’t the case at all.
The Miami Heat actually showed up in the opening half. They started well, finishing the first half up eight and looking to be in control of the game.
Then… the second half happened. In both periods, the Miami Heat were outscored by eight or more points.
They wouldn’t be able to overcome their lack of urgency and ineptness. They would eventually lose the game 101-113.
It wasn’t just that they were defeated though, but much more than that. They were manhandled and showed a lack of discipline that you don’t expect from this bunch.
It’s not just the eye-test that says it though. Here are a few figures for the bean counters.
