On March 27, Beijing time, the Miami Heat defeated the Brooklyn Nets at home to 95-110, and after losing this game, they also lost the first place in the East.
The Heat, who suffered two consecutive defeats, can be described as entering the trough of the season, the team's state is sluggish, coupled with the previous Jimmy Butler and coach Spoorskla and teammate Haslem on the sidelines, the entire team is in a state of chaos.
Facing the Nets today, the Heat fell into passivity from the beginning, and after only two and a half quarters of playing, the Heat at home had already been defeated. The point difference once widened to more than 30 points, and even the Heat main force also rested and surrendered in advance.
The battle with the Nets is actually seen by many as a preview of the first round of the Heat's playoffs, because the opponent is currently ranked eighth in the East and is likely to meet the Heat in the playoffs. However, facing the Nets led by Durant and Irving, the Heat did not show their strength as the top team in the East, but were chased and beaten by their opponents all the time.
The Heat, who handed over the first place in the East, are currently seen as the team most likely to be on the first round. How to get out of the current predicament, especially how to adjust to the situation before the playoffs are approaching, is crucial for the ambitious Heat.
