"Two games into the season, and there is a glimmer of hope for Miami Heat fans. Despite the injury to Tyler Herro, along with rookie Kasparas Jakucionis missing the first two games of the season, the offense for Miami has looked far more dangerous than we've seen in recent years. And even though Miami didn't play on Saturday night, the Memphis vs. Indianapolis game is a result that has to make Heat fans feel even better about what happened on Friday night."
"Memphis went out on Saturday night and steamrolled Indianapolis 128-103. The Grizzlies won all four quarters and made their big move in the 3rd quarter to put the game away for good. Mind you, Memphis was just a 2.5-point favorite in this game, and while the Pacers are expected to struggle this year as Tyrese Haliburton heals, the Pacers did take Oklahoma City to the wire in their opening game on Thursday."
Two games into the 2025-26 season, Miami shows offensive improvement despite Tyler Herro's injury and rookie Kasparas Jakucionis missing the first two games. Friday's dominant win over Memphis featured starters Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware together and significant bench scoring, including a first-half explosion from Simone Fontecchio. Memphis then routed Indianapolis 128-103, winning every quarter and breaking the game open in the third, which retroactively strengthens the view of Miami's victory. Miami's opening-night fourth-quarter lead faded against Orlando as size fatigue set in, but the early performances suggest the Heat's offense could be better than preseason results indicated.
