BROOKLYN (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) – The Miami Heat breathed a big sigh of relief on Monday night.
The struggling Heat ended their losing skid and look to post consecutive victories for the first time in more than three weeks when they visit the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.
Miami overcame an eight-point, fourth-quarter deficit to record an 89-84 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday to halt a four-game skid and register just its second win in the last nine outings.
The Heat have been sliding in the wrong direction because of a plethora of injuries, and the 89 points against the Bulls was actually the club’s highest output in a five-game span.
