The Miami Heat close their four-game homestand against the Sacramento Kings Monday, looking to snap their wretched four-game skid.
Given the circumstances, Miami’s in the midst of its worst stretch of the season at the absolute worst time. Beyond the rotational or X’s and O’s conundrums, they’ve seemingly lost their mojo that’s led them to their success.
Its four straight losses — notching a season high — have come to the Philadelphia 76ers (without Joel Embiid and James Harden), Golden State Warriors (without Draymond Green, Klay Thompson or Stephen Curry), the lottery-bound New York Knicks (without Julius Randle) and a 15-point defeat to the Brooklyn Nets.
