Miami Heat Survive Two Ejections And The Portland Trail Blazers, 115-109

Miami Heat Games Have Gotten Chippy This Year And That Probably Won’t Stop

Max Strus would finish with 25 points, six rebounds, and five assists on 9-17 from the floor and 7-13 from three, leading the Miami Heat on the night.

Their second-leading scorer on Wednesday and the potential second all-star-type mentioned earlier, Tyler Herro, went for 16 points, five rebounds, and three assists, but on a putrid 5-23 from the field.

He hasn’t been great in a few games, but his production was needed on Wednesday, as it is every night for this Heat team. While still a major topic of concern, his efficiency or lack of, wasn’t even the major story from the game on him.

Here is what happened with nearly a minute left in the game.

This is another incident to add to a long list of them for the Miami Heat this season. Things have gotten rather chippy in their contests and will probably remain that way for the remainder of the year.

They need to remember to stay controlled in the biggest moments, but this is a feisty bunch, without a doubt. While it didn’t hurt them Wednesday, where the game was nearly decided, the hope is that it won’t burn them moving forward.

With Phoenix on Saturday, you hope that he doesn’t have to miss any time because of it. That’s the biggest thing to keep an eye on leaving this victory.

At the end of the day, they survived two ejections, a huge Trail Blazers comeback, and a few more things all to get a pretty decent road win. It shouldn’t have been this hard, but it’s hardly ever as easy as it seemed to start either.
