Miami Heat Just Can’t Get Both Sides Of The Ball To Click At The Same Time
Coincidentally, a team that was a top defensive team earlier in the year and for much of it, their defense has fallen off a cliff in that same timeframe.
Their last contest Wednesday night against the Knicks saw them try to get back to that defensive identity, holding the Knicks to just 19 points in the first quarter, and below 50 for the half.
That isn’t great or outstanding, but considering the Miami Heat’s defense in recent weeks and the Knicks’ potency on that side of the ball, that was an improvement.
And though, again, the Knicks would put up points because they are talented, you still noticed the Miami Heat’s defense effort. But here’s what else you noticed.
Looking at the box score and the final tally, one that saw the Miami Heat fail to score above 92 points on the night, the offense wasn’t present. The offense just wasn’t there.
And it didn’t happen like you might think, where the stars showed up and everyone else didn’t. This one may shock you.
