Floridian derby under the spotlight at Miamisince the jimmy butler soap opera continues to keep us going on the side Heat. On the prosecution, the players in uniform will not fail to do the same, since it took two extensions to decide between them and, ultimately, the Magic must lay down the arms (125-119).
If Orlando was able to count on Franz Wagner (29 points, 8 rebounds), these are Tyler Herro (30 points, 12 passes, 8 rebounds) and BAM ADEBAYO (26 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists) which had the last word, despite a delay of a dozen points that we have long thought insurmountable. Especially in the fourth quarter, at -12…
Hinsed by faults and blunders, the meeting starts in any case timidly, with two teams that honor their reputation by showing themselves very close to each other (59-55). It is the Magic bench (Tristan Da Silva, Jonathan Isaac) which helps visitors take orders, more or less comfortably, especially since the 3-point address is also there. For the Heat, the hardest part is clearly attacking and finding regularity or variety on this side, behind Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo, a little too lonely.
Miami returns from afar …
First jostled by the aggressiveness of the Herro/Adebayo duo and the award -winning success of Kel'el Ware, Orlando players put their ideas clear as soon as the rotations are carried out. Besides Tristan Da Silva, Goga Bitadze is solid under the panels, while Paolo Banchero and especially Franz Wagner show the path to scoring.
Miami does not let go in the last quarter, the public grows behind Tyler Herro and others, then the efforts of Kel'el Ware and Nikola Jovic pay: Equality. Equality that will last until the end of regulation time, Franz Wagner responding to Kel'el Ware to tear an extension (108-108).
In these additional five minutes, the Magic's attack resumes after many minutes of trial and error and it is Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero who obviously take matters into hand, by aggressing the opposing painting. On the Heat side, we multiply the avoidable errors, especially with the ball, but it is returned to the camp opposite and Bam Adebayo then took the opportunity to reset the counters, once again (116-116)! Second extension, the pressure increases …
Bam Adebayo, still him, does not weaken over the minutes and he places Miami at the controls by taking out the muscles. From hunted to hunter, Orlando does not let go more than his neighbor, but the locals seem to be more like, their efforts are incessant and the room, boiling, galvanizes them. Upon arrival, that makes the difference: the men of Erik Spoelstra can breathe, at the heart of a period to say the least hectic behind the scenes (125-119).
What to remember
– The new Heat's bosses assume. Jimmy Butler dismissed from the group (and soon transferred?), Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo find themselves in only the team's bosses and, against a team from Orlando never easy to negotiate, they did not fail to prove that they were there to keep their troops among the strong places of the East. If Tyler Herro, Master to play Miami number one, showed the way during regulation time, Bam Adebayo is out of his box in overtime, with many baskets near the circle to drive this Magic Ko. Standing, which collapsed in the last fifteen minutes.
– Orlando cracked at the end. The problem of this magic is above all offensive this season and, even if the defense of the Heat was exemplary in the last fifteen minutes of the match, we have also seen the problems of the men of Jamahl Mosley. Hence this advance of 103-91 dilapidated in six minutes, without offering anything coherent on this side of the field, between bullets lost in contact or rushed shooting at 3-point. Ditto at +6 in overtime … Note that this result puts Miami 6th, in front of its Floridian neighbor, now 7th.
– In Miami, we no longer want to talk about Jimmy Butler. Again suspended by the Heat, the name of Jimmy Butler will no longer be mentioned by Erik Spoelstra at a press conference. “” Today, we haven't talked about anything other than the match against the Magic. I know what you are looking for at the moment, and I even suppose that that's why the press room is full, but we are trying to silence the outside noise and we focus on the task to be accomplished “Said the Floridian coach in pre-match.
