Heat Tame Timberwolves 128-109

Minneapolis - On the back of another big night from Bam Adebayo the Miami Heat were able to salvage the back end of their back to back by downing the Minnesota Timberwolves 128-109. Miami jumped out to a big lead in the first quarter, and it never really got too close after that. The Heat were able to put Anthony Edwards in foul trouble all night which proved a huge hinderance to any comeback attempt the Wolves would try to mount. Miami will get a day off before a big match up on Monday with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Game Preview @ Milwaukee

Milwaukee - It's a rematch of one of the most shocking results in NBA postseason history as the Miami Heat take on the Milwaukee Bucks Monday night at the Fiserv Forum. The eight seed Heat took out the one seed Milwaukee Bucks in just five games last year en route to their improbable run to the NBA Finals. Of course Milwaukee reloaded with what many thought would be the Heat's key off-season acquisition in Damian Lillard, pairing him with Giannis Antetokounmpo to form one of the most formidable duos in the league.

Bam Exits Early as Heat Fall to Bucks

Milwaukee - Without their defensive anchor able to go after a second quarter injury, the Miami Heat succumbed to the offensive onslaught of Giannis and company as they fell 120-110 to the Bucks on Monday Night. Bam Adebayo left the game after just eleven minutes of action after coming down awkwardly on a made layup. The team is calling it a mild sprain, and he will be re-evaluated in a week. That means the Heat will have to go without their All-Star, and All-NBA defender for at least the next few games, the first of which will be Wednesday back home at the Kaseya Center against the Brooklyn Nets.

Leagues Top Two Teams Pull Off Mega Trade

James Harden once again is moving on to another team. In another saga of sitting out, and demanding a trade, James Harden will once again get his wish as the Philadelphia 76ers are moving on, sending Harden to his desired destination of Los Angeles to the Clippers. P.J. Tucker will be accompanying Harden in the deal, and coming back the 76ers will receive Robert Covington, Marcus Morris, Nic Batum, and multiple draft picks from the Clippers. After jumping out to a 3-0 start without him, the 76ers decided they would be just fine moving on without Harden being a distraction in the locker room, while the Clippers are hoping that Harden brings another piece to add to their hot start, and their hopes of bringing a championship banner to the other side of Crypto.com Arena.

Game Preview vs. Brooklyn Nets

Miami - The Miami Heat return home after a 1-2 road trip to take on the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets attempt to go all-in with a Big 3 of Harden, Irving, and Durant backfired, and now all three have forced their way to other destinations putting the Nets into rebuild mode. Brooklyn is left with a roster with some talented pieces in Mikal Bridges, and Cam Thomas, but without the depth to seriously contend in the East. Brooklyn has the ceiling of a play-in team this season barring anything crazy transaction wise taking place.

Bench Leads Way as Heat Cut Down Nets 118-87

Miami - Josh Richardson led the way with 26 points, and Duncan Robinson chipped in with 16 as the Miami bench picked up the slack in Bam Adebayo's absence and easily took care of the Brooklyn Nets 118-87 on Wednesday night. Even without their DPOY candidate the Heat's defense was able to make life difficult for Brooklyn's scorers all night long holding them under 40% from the field on the evening. The Heat will get a day of rest before a game Friday against the Washington Wizards. That game will be the first in group play of the NBA's new In-Season Tournament.

Butler's 32 Lead Heat to Tournament Win

Miami - Jimmy Butler led the way with 32 points, and Kevin Love filled in with a 14 point, 14 rebound double double as the Miami Heat missing two starters were able to outlast the Washington Wizards 112-104 in the opening game of the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament. Jordan Poole had 28 to keep the Wizards in striking distance for much of the game, but they could never get over the hump, as Miami now leads East Group B based on point difference. The Heat will now get a couple days of rest before welcoming the LA Lakers to town on Monday night.
