The Miami Heat knows it isn’t structured like other perennial playoff teams across the league. No one on the roster has any illusions about being a player who can singlehandedly carry the offense.
Miami, of course, wins when its defense locks in — in its last eight wins, the Heat has held it’s opponent to fewer than 100 points — but Miami also needs an all-hands-on-deck approach to offense. In its last 14 games, the Heat’s bench leads the league in rebounds per game, and ranks second in both scoring and assists. Miami is 10-4 in those 14 games dating back to the last day of November.
