The Miami Heat bounced back from a poor offensive showing with a resounding 131-point game against the Atlanta Hawks, boosting their performance with 23 three-pointers, tying a franchise record. New guard Davion Mitchell stood out with 20 points on superb shooting. As a restricted free agent next season, questions arise about his future with the team. Mitchell's overall contributions, including elite defense, have stabilized the roster, even as his assist rate has dipped.
Roughly 48 hours after their worst offensive performance, the Miami Heat posted one of their best games, scoring 131 points against the Atlanta Hawks.
Davion Mitchell quickly became a trusted piece in Erik Spoelstra's rotation, raising the question of whether the Heat should prioritize retaining him.
Mitchell's recent performance saw him shooting 7-of-8 and 5-of-5 from deep; however, his 46.2% 3-point shooting might be inflated by this game.
While Mitchell's assist rate has dropped since joining the Heat, his improved playmaking and tenacious defense have made him a stabilizing force in the lineup.
