If blowing a 22-point lead wasn't bad enough, we're here to make the Miami Heat feel even worse about Saturday's shocking loss.
Blowing a 22-point lead is bad enough for the Miami Heat. We probably don’t need to make them feel any worse.Miami entered the fourth quarter Saturday night leading 106-84. They ended the fourth quarter with a crushing 121-114 loss to the injury-decimated Orlando Magic.The Associated Press reported teams with at least a 22-point lead entering the fourth quarter were 796-0 since Dec. 22, 2019.“Just a couple bad shots,” center Bam Adebayo told reporters.
“I feel like that’s the karma of the game,” Adebayo added. “You relax and then you let a team get hot, and it goes the other way. You’re trying to fight back.” Point guard Tyler Herro took responsibility for the Heat’s stunning collapse. Herro and Adebayo led the Heat with four turnovers. “It’s my responsibility to take care of going down the stretch,” Herro said. “Making the right plays for us to win. So I’ll be better.”“It’s tough to get wins in this league … I think we that tonight,” Herro said. “Just the back and forth. You see it every night; there’s games like this.”Heat’s Jimmy Butler Faces ‘Nonexistent’ Free Agent Market, Predicts NBA Insider
