You know that feeling when you finally meet up with a friend you haven’t seen in a long time? And the conversation flows easily because there’s so much to catch up on, with so little time to make sure nothing’s left behind?
Well in basketball terms that’s what it felt like to watch the Miami Heat dominate in wire-to-wire fashion on the road against the New Orleans Pelicans. The home team didn’t have Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson, who account for almost a combined 60 points a game, but Miami hasn’t been a model of consistency when it comes to defeating the opponents they’re supposed to, so this win, as superior as they might have been when it comes to talent, was still a welcome sight.
