The Miami Heat are off to a great start to the season with a surprising 30-13 record. More than halfway through the season they sit alone in second place in the Eastern Conference with a one-game lead over the Toronto Raptors.
The biggest key to their outstanding record so far has been their clutch play. Their play in close games in general and overtime, in particular, has put them in this position.
In the 19 games they’ve played which qualify as clutch (a margin of five points or less with five minutes or less to go), the Heat are 13-6.
