Coming off consecutive losses in consecutive games, the Miami Heat have a lot to clean up as they head down the stretch of the regular season and into the postseason.

Looking more and more as though they’ll be a participant in the NBA Playoff Play-In round this year, the Miami Heat do have things to clean up to ensure that they go beyond just the first couple of tournament games to see whether they can even get in the regular playoff field or not.

While you fully expect the Heat to be in the regular playoff field once all the dust settles and everything is said and done, they must do all they can so that they may give themselves the best chance along the way. And while that sounds cliché, it’s a very literal thing with the Miami Heat.

For example, if you look at the last couple of weeks, the Miami Heat have been an above-average offensive team. And if you look at their last 10 games specifically, they are a top-third offensive team in the league.
