The Miami Heat have lost their last two games at the buzzer. They could’ve had both of them, or gotten the split. Instead, now Miami is two games below .500. And the Heat have had a home-heavy schedule to open the season; losing these early games hurt.
Last night’s loss to the Portland Trail Blazers felt worse because Miami played well for most of the game. Friday night in Indiana, neither team played well.
That’s not how a team that came within one basket of reaching a second NBA Finals in three years should play.
