"It's only been three games, but the Heat have been one of the most impressive teams in the Eastern Conference. Most recently, the Heat sent another clear message after a signature win in their home opener against the New York Knicks. Even without a fully healthy roster, the Heat managed to control much of the game against the Knicks. Miami opened up a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter and never looked back."
"The Heat has the third-best-ranked defensive rating in the league after three games. It's surely a small sample size, but you have to give that unit some credit. Especially after losing Jimmy Butler, many assumed that the Heat were going to drop tremendously on that end of the floor. That simply hasn't happened, and, somehow, their quicker pace of play has almost helped them on that front."
The Miami Heat have started the regular season strongly, winning their home opener against the New York Knicks and impressing through their first three games. Miami controlled the Knicks game, opening a double-digit fourth-quarter lead despite not having a fully healthy roster. The Heat rank third in defensive rating after three games, defying expectations following Jimmy Butler's departure. The team's quicker pace has not undermined defense and has complemented offensive production. Through three games, Miami ranks top five in points per game, top ten in three-point makes and percentage, and 12th in offensive rating.
