Things can change fast in this league.
After winning 11 of 12 from Feb. 18 – March 16 to go from the 11th seed in the East to the fourth, the HEAT have now dropped three in a row and sit at number five.
And while Miami has struggled offensively (more on that later), the team has really picked things up on the defensive end thanks to deploying multiple looks, schemes and traps.
In turn, the HEAT are tied with a couple other teams for the second-most clutch games, going 13-12 in those matchups, including Sunday’s overtime loss to the Pacers.
