A Major Issue If Miami Heat Can’t Get Simultaneous Consistency On Both Sides

Only one player scored 20 or more points, Gabe Vincent. This is all while only one more player finished with above 15, Tyler Herro, who would finish with 16 points.

Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo both finished sub-15, while Bam didn’t even reach double digits.

All too often in the last couple of weeks, a fact also indicated by the pattern laid out in the beginning in reference to the Miami heats entire season, they just can’t seem to get excellence or above-average play on both sides of the ball at the same time.

From the outside looking in, that seems to be the immediate issue at hand. If the Miami Heat can, somehow, find a way to get both sides of the ball to click on an, at least, above-average level heading into the Play-In and the Playoffs, then they can still make some noise.
