Things continue to look up for the Miami Heat, as the teams that are directly ahead of them in the NBA’s Eastern Conference standings continue to drop a few games.
While the Miami Heat still have to continue to do their part, unlike what they were able to do on Saturday night in a losing effort against the Chicago Bulls, the Miami Heat have seen the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets drop games in recent days—and all just before their upcoming matchups.
Speaking of their future matchups though, one cannot be too shortsighted to forget about the past. Heading into the games against the two New York teams, the Miami Heat can’t forget about what happened to them in their last contests against these two teams.
And fortunately enough for the Miami Heat, these games weren’t that long ago, which means that the results should be fresh in their minds, providing just a bit more motivation to go out and get victories.
