Erik Spoelstra’s defensive flexibility led Miami to the NBA Finals

It was February 26.

The Miami Heat just lost an embarrassing game to the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. The loss was their 4th out of 5 games — losses to the Wolves, Cavaliers, Hawks, and Jazz.

The Heat were in a funk. Although for most of the season they’ve been good, this was a rough stretch. They were giving up way too many points and were not the defensive team that the Miami Heat expect.

Right before the NBA season was suspended, the Heat lost at home to the Charlotte Hornets.
