The Miami Heat scored just 14 points in the third quarter en route to losing to the undefeated San Antonio Spurs Thursday night. The Heat did make an honorable comeback in the fourth quarter, but ultimately came up short. The offensive struggles that the Heat endured during the third quarter proved too much for the team to overcome in the end.
Naturally, the Heat and head coach Erik Spoelstra are going to have to look in the mirror as they reevaluate what went wrong for the team in that second half. Especially as teams across the league are going to try to replicate what San Antonio found success with on the defensive end of the floor against the Heat.
