Drew it up a lot of it thanks to this guy right here a heck of a bounce back for you guys a total team effort on both sides of the floor what impressed you most about your team’s performance yeah I mean I think the starters did a great

Job of just setting the tone and um everybody just coming out with a great effort on defense and offense you know moving the ball um getting steals getting out transition running and just playing together it was fun we was having fun out there that’s what it

Seemed like and it looked like it and for you 18 points perfect from Beyond The Arc you’ve had inconsistent minutes throughout the entire year how you able to stay ready for when SPO calls you I mean at the end of the day I can I got

Control I can control you know UD always say stay ready so you don’t got to get ready and I really you know take that to heart I’m always in the gym working putting extra shots you know and um whether I’ll play or don’t play I’m

Going to be ready and um you know I’m here for whatever the team needs for sure SPO talked about the importance of giving this home crowd something to cheer about you guys did that in the third quarter when you went up 37 points they got to their feet this place was

Deafening how important is it for you guys to put on a show for your home crowd yeah I mean this year we haven’t been the greatest at home um honestly I think our road recer has been better than our home recer but you know our fans deserve a great show our best our

Best version of our basketball and um tonight was that version you know we need to be more consistent giving our home fans more to Cher for know they deserve it um they bring the energy so you know tonight was just perfect and um you know hope they enjoyed and uh you

Know we got to stay consistent and keep building off this congratulations Heywood thanks for the time thank you appreciate you big night for Haywood High Smith 18 points four for four from Beyond Mi and you know what that music means heat na when the Heat win you win

With Papa John’s Pizza thanks it’s a nice heat Victory you get 50% off regular menu priced items tomorrow on your online order at Papa johns.com or on the app enter the promo code heatwin to enjoy the savings this was fun fin he’s had some rough nights at home theight wasn’t one

Of them the heat Breeze to a victory in joh they they really played so well from from start to finish on both ends they they scored over 12 they also had their best defensive game in in the same game holding this this Cleveland team who was

Season low 84 points well the defense to me is what the identity of this team is and they really laid itel pay as a result you’re actually now 11 and3 when they score 120 points or more here’s your Metro T-Mobile game recap he go 52% from the field they triple 15 times and

After getting out rebounded by 22 the other night they come back with a 14 rebound advantage and yeah looks like a typo it’s not 24-2 in Fast Break points 50 points in the paint for Miami and you we heard Eric spuler say before the game about his offense being more intentional it

Sort of got off off course against New Orleans the your two best players available are Jimmy Butler and Bam Metabo tonight they were as they should be the focal point from the first you know tip on the first quarter those guys led the way and they were super

Aggressive uh looked like that in transition bam one of the very few and speaking of very few he joins G money Glenn rice only two players in heat history to have a game with 15 plus points 15 plus rebounds and he had exactly five steals he only had one

Turnover in in what was uh best 28 minutes of game time that that he’s had all season long that was really good to see bam and Jimmy and the Heat play that well through the four quarters of this game and John there was plenty of help from the bench Patty Mills started but

Guys off the bench like Delan Wright Haywood heith and Thomas Bryant they all paid dividends tonight all Caleb Martin as well everybody contributed and whether it was uh you know tangible points on the board we saw you know just great hustle activity we saw them come

In and extend the defense fall back into that 23 and create some steals there too uh the energy never W uh the second unit I thought just continued In Waves what the starters were able to accomplish and it really put a lot of pressure on the Cleveland Cavaliers who we saw have some

Of their key guys got into foul trouble because of the pressure that this second unit provided good to see those guys all play well especially Haywood heith who made all four of his triples in that game 59 points off that heat bench TI for their third most this was an

Important victory for Miami because earlier today Philadelphia beat the Clippers in Los Angeles that meant that he’d had to beat Cleveland to hold the spot they started the day with that that seventh place and while both Miami and Philly are trying to get to number six because that moves you into the first

Round of the playoffs without the play in if you’re going to be in the playin you want to be seventh because that would give you homecourt advantage in that s eight game so 11 games left Miami and Philly going to going to keep on jocking for that number seven spot at

The very least it’s going to be an interesting finish I mean every game’s going to matter you got to stay T tuned here and watch these games and see what’s happening the positioning will be so important to put yourself uh like you said hopefully out of that play in game

So watch a lot of college basketball tomorrow night but we’ll be back with you Tuesday night when they he take on the Golden State Warriors Miami at a 12-point win in San Francisco in late December they will try to sweep the season series from Steph Curry Draymond

Green and Golden State their only visit to Miami this year make plans either be here or be by your TV set to enjoy that game and here are your up-to-dated standings Miami and Philadelphia same record the heat with a higher seed because Miami is a 2-1 lead in the

Series those teams will meet April 4th in Miami Indiana they play tonight the the Pacers play tonight in La against the Lakers and then we’ll play in Sacramento tomorrow so check the scoreboard get your rest press conference Ron’s going to rewind am’s got angles and the support women

Marketplace front and center the AT&T East Plaza we will check it out right now here’s what seven of 10 overall he had 18 points and five rebounds checking out the exfinity game summary three straight losses for the Cavs it definitely hurts if they don’t have Spidey and they don’t have stru some of

The rotation guys that did get Mo back tonight but now here are the Knicks climbing up their backside as the heat are trying to do the same thing to the Pacers and get out of the play in spot and into the more conventional playoff positions going through six here is Mr

Convention himself Ron rosate I am Jason Jackson and you would hope that this was the response from Friday hey I thought we came out um super focused bouncing our step uh particularly bam and Jimmy it’s the first thing I noticed there was some life to what was going on and uh a

Team that was I think embarrassed and mad and and that was the response time to get you to rewind what’s your first play over there I think it’s just right to it I think I think H hang on folks we’re flat in that game in this game you know we were alive and

Um and you know instead of just focusing on you know misses or whether shot was going in or not we just doubled tripled quadruple down on uh trying to have a a massive you know Collective defensive effort every single possession and see what that could generate for us and um

That carried out you know for the majority of the game and we’re able to get some easy ones um you know off of you know some turnovers stops long rebounds um there were bunch of inspiring defensive plays that led to you know easy buckets going the other

Way and you see the ball go in in an easy fashion um that can change things but in order to see the ball go in sometimes in an easy way you have to do a bunch very difficult things defensively uh and we were committed you know to that I

Know you don’t care much about the scoring margin but just how how necessary how needed was it just to have one of these just an easy one everybody gets in everybody’s feeling good there’s no there’s no frustration in the room afterward just how vital now I mean I

Wish it would had the the play rules you know right now or this would count like more for something I guess but no not the playing uh say yeah the inseason tournament I always get that confused um you know more than anything you know than the the score it’s just you know

Seeing a collective response you know the one thing about our group is this this group really cares even after a night like the other night where it looks like it’s you know you can Define it in a bunch of different ways when it’s a really lopsided loss and you

Could erroneously say that’s a listless team it’s not this is a team that cares deeply and uh there’s so some Keep C and hammer on First Blood an enemy has been Defeated ultimate an ally has been defeated H down onot why did I forget to pack pants what this Blood double kill your team has destroyed a tower one hand BL when there’s a a hammer there’s a way futile hamor legendary double kill hit the nail on the head E e e e e e e e e e e
