Miami Heat: No One Should Escape Criticism For T-Wolves Loss
Miami Heat: No One Should Escape Criticism For T-Wolves Loss
To look at a few stats of merit, the Miami Heat came into the game averaging 14.7 turnovers per game. That’s not good, at all, but not the worst.
They would accumulate a total of 21 turnovers in the game. Even more disturbing, that was more than the Timberwolves’ 18, the second to last ranked team in the league at 16.2 per game.
Another stat of extreme disparity and a telling one, were the rebounding figures.
Outrebounded severely in the game, itself, they were mauled on the offensive glass.
They were dominated, overall on the boards, 52-40. The bloodbath on the offensive glass for Minnesota though, saw them them win that battle by 11, 15-4.
If they only convert on half of those close looks off an offensive board, that’s still 14 points. That, absolutely, can’t happen and especially when you are the fifth ranked Heat in rebounding, while they are the 15th ranked team there.
