FT Miami 102 Orlando 89

Important win for Miami 236 miles up the pike. First game of six away from AAA. Not an awful team Orlando, 21-28. “Heat” did not shoot well, 42.8%; “Magic” were awful, 39.8%. “Heat” D? Prolly. Let’s check the box:

All-Star Jimmy had one of his best games shooting, 8/15 for 24. Tyler was tremendous, 7/12 (6/10) 23. All-Star Bam had a weird line, 1/8 for only 4 but 14 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks. That’ll get you a +14, team high. Myers Leonard, dear God, a monster game for MyLeo, 7/14 (4/9) 18 points. FOURTEEN rebounds. Waiters, Olynyk, Silva and Undeniable Deadwood were DNP CD.

Good going, “Heat”! I had wished they had hit the road after the Friday Night Massacre and Kobe’s death. They’re finally out. It’s tough on the road, hoo-doggie! They’ve got a cameo at home on Monday and then begin their annual midwinter trek West, to LAC, SAC, Portlandia and Golden Pond before winging back east to Hotlanta and then a home and Lake with the Mistake. “Heat” 32-15 now and 9-7 midterm.
