Tyrese Haliburton, Indi's point guard, had 43 on 14/20 (10/16), 7 asts 3 t.o.'s. Indi's other pg had 2 pts in 20 mins, 5 asts, 2 t.o.'s. Combined Indi PG's 45 pts, 15/26 (10/17), 12 asts, 5 t.o.s. Mimi's PGs, Lowry and Herro, had a combined 49 on a combined 18/39 (9/21), 7 asts, 3 t.o.s. Tyrese hit the game winning shot and was on fire from deep. He was the difference regardless of the como stats.

Mimi is cyclical: one serious run at the Finals, and a fatiged step back. Another serious run, and another step back. 22-23 is a step back season. The season is more than half-way over and the "Heat" is what its record says it is and we will finish, I predict just above .500 and creep into the 'loffs a couple or few games above .500 and go nowhere. There will be changes in the off-season and we'll see if the Finals cycle repeats itself. I can't see from here to the off-season and the team composition entering '23-'24, but this season is Middlesbrough.
