Anthony Chiang for the Miami Herald:
Heat reserve Max Strus did not play in the second half because of a “coach’s decision.”
After logging 15:57 off the bench in Saturday’s first half, Strus did not play in the second half.
Instead, Duncan Robinson got Strus’ minutes in the second half to finish with three points and one rebound in eight minutes off the Heat’s bench.
When asked about the decision to sit Strus in the second half, all Spoelstra said was: “That was a coach’s decision.”
Robinson had not played in three of the previous four games, falling out of the rotation with the Heat’s roster getting healthier.
The Heat’s bench was outscored 47-20 on Saturday.
