The Eastern Conference champions still won by 11 points, and six people rushed to the top six in the East
On February 27, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Heat challenged the Kings away. In this game, the Heat lacked a major general, but their momentum was still good, they kept biting the score, and then they began to take the initiative, and in the third quarter, they exploded into an offensive wave, directly pulling the difference apart, taking a lead of up to 20 points, and withstood the king's counterattack in the final quarter. In the end, the Heat defeated the Kings 121-110 on the road and won four in a row.
As last season's Eastern Conference champions, the Heat's momentum this season is not good, but their strength should not be underestimated, and they have stable skills and tactics. And this time against the Kings, they are also short of soldiers, the team as many as 8 people missed the game, but even such a difficult predicament, they still withstood it, there was no retreat on the field, every player on the court can contribute, and finally won a key victory on the road.
Three players from the Heat were suspended by the league in this game, namely Butler, Jovic and Bryant, all of whom clashed in the game against the Pelicans. In addition to the three of them being suspended, there are also five players absent from the injury list, namely Rozier, Herro, O. Robinson, Richardson and Smith, and the starting line-up is directly three less. I thought they would suffer a defeat away from home, but they were very tenacious and won in the end.
It can be said that the Heat is really a team that plays a system, does not rely on the team system of a certain star, and can still maintain strong combat effectiveness even if it lacks a few main players. And this time the team has 6 players in double figures, including Adebayo with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, Harkes with 26 points, veteran Love with 19 points in 15 minutes, and Duncan Robinson with 11 assists.
After beating the Kings, the Heat has won four consecutive victories and rushed directly into the top six ranks in the East, and the Eastern teams should be careful. The Heat have won eight of their last 10 games, and they always think they can rush up when they are about to die. Compared to other teams, the Heat may not have much star, but they have the toughness of each player that many teams don't have.
