We didn’t give much of the Heat’s skin, traveling to Memphis tonight, without his Lowry-Butler-Adebayo trio to face Ja Morant and his teammates.
But the Floridians are never as strong as in adversity and managed to take the best by winning by a short header (111-108), inflicting the Grizzlies their first setback of the preseason.
The man of the match is clearly Duncan Robinson, author of 29 points 5/7 from afar and 10/10 in the free throw, a sign of his aggressiveness. The Heat shooter did not take part in the last quarter and therefore witnessed the success of his team from the bench when the score was 83-78 in favor of the Heat 12 minutes from time.
In the final act, Jamal Cain and Nikola Jovic held the house until Haywood Highsmith finished the job with two 3-point missiles, a basket near the circle after an offensive rebound and two shots 14 seconds from the end. To top it off, he was also the one who took the last rebound of the game.
