Heat crush Thunder, 118-90

After rolling out his sixth starting lineup in as many games, Erik Spoelstra may have found the one that works.

Spoelstra slotted Kelly Olynyk into the frontcourt position next to Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler — as I suggested — and it helped lead to a 118-90 Miami Heat blowout win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Heat led the game the entire way, with the exception of a brief moment at the beginning of the second quarter. Miami went on an incredible 20-0 run in the third quarter to break the game open — one that featured three Kelly Olynyk 3-pointers and another cutting layup from the new starting forward.
