On January 30, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Suns challenged the Heat away. In this game, the Suns fought back-to-back, but the momentum was hot, and they always took the initiative on the court, establishing a lead of up to 28 points, but in the final quarter, the team was inaccurate again and was chased by the Heat for consecutive points, but fortunately, Beal hit a three-point shot to stabilize the situation. In the end, the Suns defeated the Heat 118-105 and ended a two-game losing streak.
The last game suddenly collapsed in the last quarter, and the Suns were defeated by the Magic reversal, suffering 2 consecutive defeats, and urgently needed a victory to boost morale. This time the team's momentum is still hot, and soon took the initiative, taking a 13-point lead in the first half, and the Suns are still hot in the second half, winning by 13 points again in a single quarter, and leading by as many as 26 points after the third quarter, I thought the game would lose suspense, but the Sun's hand was inaccurate again in the last quarter, and the Heat continued to chase points, but fortunately, in the end, the Heat missed three points one after another, otherwise it is really possible to have a big reversal.
In this game, the Big Three played decently and did not usher in a big explosion, and they combined to score 61 points and 21 assists, which still gave the team a lot of help. This time, Durant got 20 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, Booker failed to continue the hot momentum and had 22 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and Beal also had 19 points and 7 assists. However, the team's performance in the final quarter still needs to be changed, and it is almost reversed again.
In addition, the Suns have a surprise player this time, and that is the veteran Gordon on the bench. After Allen went back injured, Gordon stepped up and played 33 minutes, shooting 8-of-17 from the field and 5-of-12 from three-point range, scoring a team-high 23 points, along with four rebounds and five assists. Obviously, Gordon can still bring a lot to contribute, but he overlaps with Allen's position and can't get much playing time.
The Heat failed to achieve a breakthrough this time, lost the game again, and have won 7 in a row, and the team has lost 7 in a row since 2008, which is really shameful. As a powerhouse in the East, they can't find a way to win now, and Rozier, who was traded, played well this time, scoring 21 points, but still couldn't help the team win the game. Butler also had 26 points and eight rebounds, but Adebayo only had eight points and Herro had 17 points on 5-of-18 shooting.
