In their 103-85 loss to the Boston Celtics, the Miami Heat faced significant offensive challenges, even with three new players making their debuts. The absence of Tyler Herro due to illness contributed to the team's struggles, finishing with just 85 points, a season low, and shooting only 33.7% from the field. A critical scoring drought of over six minutes allowed the Celtics to shift momentum, leaving the Heat to contend with a growing deficit. This defeat highlights ongoing issues with scoring efficiency, especially since the Heat have a poor record when shooting below 34%.
Even with the Heat's three newcomers Kyle Anderson, Davion Mitchell and Andrew Wiggins all available and playing Monday after last week's Jimmy Butler trade, generating efficient offense continues to be an issue.
In its 18-point loss to the Celtics, the Heat totaled a season-low 85 points on 33.7 percent shooting from the field and 11-of-45 (24.4 percent) shooting from three-point range.
The Heat went 6:39 without scoring a point during the game, allowing the Celtics to turn an 11-point deficit into a seven-point lead.
This season, Miami has fallen to 2-55 in games where they shoot worse than 34 percent from the field.
