The Miami Heat Came All The Way Back Friday, But Randle Just Kept Hitting

And after Kevin Love would throw the ball away on the following Heat inbounds play, it was another tough loss for the Miami Heat since the All-Star break.

This defeat also sends them further down in the standings to create more space between them and the top teams while creating less space between them in the teams below them, such as a Hawks team that they’ll face in their next two games.

Now, there is this though. The Miami Heat team from the second half of Friday night’s game is the one that we’ve seen more often than we haven’t this season.

And that team can compete against anybody.

And though they haven’t been as good this year as they were in previous years shooting the ball, they haven’t been as bad as they’ve been in the last couple of games either. And on top of their ineptitude, the opposing teams in the past five or so games have flat-out shot the lights out.
