The Miami Heat took the court on Sunday night with what should have been a new attitude. A new attitude indeed did they have, however, they fell back into some of the old habits that tend to get them beat.
While the zone defense itself wasn’t a huge issue on Sunday night, the Portland Trail Blazers continued a hot opponents shooting streak against the Heat as if they did just fall back into the zone every time. The Miami Heat dropped another one because they couldn’t defend the three-point line as well as they needed to.
