After scoring 66 points in the first half, the Miami Heat were held to 42 in the second half as the Minnesota Timberwolves defense looked more like the No. 1 rated unit that it’s been this season as the Heat lost, 112-108. Is this a bad loss, or were there more reasons for optimism following Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo’s return?
Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down why the Heat lost, Herro and Adebayo, why Jimmy Butler took a 3 at the end and why they aren’t too worried even after the Heat lost a 17-point lead.

Too much Josh sorry, Jimmy ,Caleb and Jaime play so well together should have been in the fourth
Kevin Love… Bro the Refs literally saw Dude hand hits Love on the wrist. Should've been a 3pts foul. But that's okay….
The timberwolves are a Terrible match up for the heat. They have size and great defensive wings
Miami needs to stop emphasizing defense. Scoring is what is winning in this league. Miami needs scorers not shooters. Lowery and a first rounder for Derozan and Tucker would be a start. Miami also needs to get solid veterans on the bench for veterans minimum instead of developing G-league or undrafted talent that at the end of the day are going to end up on other teams (which is embarrassing on its own). Oh, and the team needs to get bigger.
Why is no1 mentioning jimmy scored 1 point in the 4th quarter
Time to get Donavan Mitchelle or Joel Embiid because we really need size asap!!!
jimmy 1 point in the 4
Should have had the rookie closing this game instead of Herro. I’m afraid we will lose close games like this when Herro is closing. Smh
Anthony Edwards is an anomaly. When the pressure is off, and the crowd isn’t involved, or if tensions aren’t high, Anthony Edwards looks like Andrew Wiggins. The second the tensions are high, Anthony Edwards turns into prime Wade and he’s literally unstoppable. There’s a reason he averages like 35pts in the playoffs as a 21yr old 😂 he’s a dawg for sure
Tough to be negative team stinks made no moves and now ya see it no excuses everybody played cept for kyle and dont give me that oh well kyle didnt play excuse. 17 point lead and poof gone Front Office needs to be held accountable
Trade Lowry, Jovic, next years first, all the 2nds it takes, and MAYBE Highsmith &1 more 1st with protections for Trae Young. Ring confirmed
Miami is fine turning in a C-grade season as long as the team is healthy and locked-in going into the playoffs.
Need a real pf
Yeah prob should've had some more size like having JJJ instead of Josh. Although he did makes some big 3's at the end. So its tough. But no one could really contain Ant unfortunately. And even if we could force a miss, trying to rebound with Gobert and KAT crashing was way too difficult.
This team is one of the hottest in the league, so we probably shouldn't be too hard on this one. Especially with the context of bringing back Bam and Herro, and figuring out some of the chemistry still. But the way it happened adds some salt to the wounds for sure.
