From memory the "Heat" shot better over the remainder of the game after I over-and-outed. Their final was 47.3% which is damn good for an NBA team; not nearly as well from range, 34.1%, which is bad for an NBA team, and only 66.7% from the free throw line, which is Shaq territory.
When I first checked, it was early, I think the score was 5-3, Duncan Robinson was 1/1 (1/1), which I took to be a very good sign indeed. He finished 1/9 (1/9). Which is Justise Winslow territory. Spoelstra can't do this any longer. But I think he will. The tinkerer has turned into a man made of stone.
Tyler Herro was unavailable as relief of Duncan's misery for "overall body soreness", which is my daily condition.
Kyle Lowry had BY FAR his best game with the "Heat" and his stat line is as fine as you are ever able to read for point guard: 14 assists, only one turnover, 17 points on 5/9 (2/5). Kyle was sublime.
Bam had a big game, a team- and tied for game-high 24 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, he did have five turnovers.
No word whether the Jokic brothers were in attendance.
