In the 3Q they outscored NY 35-28 and could have taken the lead 87-86 but Jimmy missed an and-1.
It's comparatively so easy to play bad basketball that once you start you kinda like it. No D: NY shot 51.7% overall, 51.5% from range. D's HARD. They didn't play hard in the 4th, routed 36-23, turning a game the could have won, if they had wanted it, into a laugher.
3J played, almost played starter's minutes (24) but was an empty 6 points on 1/6 (1/3), 1 reb, 4 asts, 2 steals, 2 blks, 4 fouls, second team-low -18.
Terry Rozier continued to be horrendous, Scary actually: 33.3% shooting (30% vs Beans, 27.3% against Grizz), 10 points (7 and 9 in the other two).
16 points today, 33 Thursday, 9 Wednesday, 18 Sunday. The only close game they have played was a one-point L at home to ATL on Jan. 19. That came after the "shocking" (Spo's word) 24-point beat down in Toronto that started this. With the one-pointer factored in, that's an average loss by 16.8 points in this six-game streak. "Shocking" indeed.
"Heat" fall to 24-22, 43 wins over 82. Trade deadline's Feb. 8.
