Trail Blazers Fade Under Fourth-Quarter Pressure in Loss to Heat

MIAMI -- After winning in Orlando a few nights prior, the Trail Blazers ended up splitting their games in the state of Florida with a 104-92 loss to the Heat in front of a sellout crowd of 19,600 Wednesday night at FTX Arena in Miami.

The trail Blazers are now 18-26 overall, 4-15 on the road and 2-2 on their current six-game trip. With the win, the Heat have swept the season series versus the Trail Blazers 2-0.

The Trail Blazers, despite an uneven performance that saw four of the five starters finish in double figures while the bench posted just 12 points combined, managed to take a lead into the fourth after the first three quarters featured 14 lead changes and four ties.
