1. It sure felt like the HEAT were struggling to score. Minnesota had taken an early 22-10 lead playing through Karl-Anthony Towns. The home team couldn’t get anything going. But by the end of the first quarter they had 25 points despite 1-of-11 shooting from three and five turnovers. It looked bad, but they were finding a way. If the shots fell, there would be no worries.
I’m sure you can guess what happened from there. The HEAT went on to score 42 points in the second on 8-of-10 shooting from three – led by Tyler Herro’s 21 first-half points – for their second-best scoring quarter of the season.
