The Miami Heat have a defined style, and they've been awfully successful with it. And yet, head coach Erik Spoelstra essentially tossed it out the window—and gave his group a fighting chance for the 2025-26 NBA season in the process.
The Heat almost never run—they'd never previously had a top-10 pace in the play-by-play era (which started in 1996-97)—but they're suddenly the fastest team in the league, per NBA.com. They've also largely ditched pick-and-roll plays (a staple in modern NBA offenses) and instead leaned into a motion-based offense meant to prioritize movement and empower everyone involved.
