It was a bad night for Miami (33-31) in the standings. They’re now 4 1/2 games behind No. 5 New York, fell 2 1/2 games behind No. 6 Brooklyn after the Nets erased a 28-point deficit to stun Boston, and saw their lead over No. 8 Atlanta trimmed to a half-game after the Hawks beat Portland.

...

...first time in the team’s 35-year history that they allowed at least 71 points in back-to-back first halves.

...

The Heat allowed New York to shoot 58% for the game.
