"But in the end, what ailed the Heat and prevented Miami from getting over the finish line was the simple fact that its two best shooters, Tyler Herro and Norman Powell, are hurt. And while Erik Spoelstra is pushing buttons and trying to manufacture points the best he can, it's clear Miami is going to be limited until Herro and Powell come back. Miami needs its two best shooters back."
"But what let the Heat down, especially down the stretch, was the lack of three-point shooting. Miami was just 9 for 33 from deep, and Simone Fontecchio was the only Heat player to make more than one from deep. Bam Adebayo and Nikola Jovic were one for five, and Andrew Wiggins was one for six from deep. The problem is that while all three of those guys are capable of hitting shots here and there,"
Miami lost to the Lakers 130-120 after falling behind big and then cutting the deficit to four with seven minutes remaining. The absence of top shooters Tyler Herro and Norman Powell hampered perimeter scoring and limited offensive options. Miami outscored Los Angeles in the paint and matched fastbreak points, but shot just 9-for-33 from three-point range. Simone Fontecchio was the only Heat player with more than one made three. Bam Adebayo, Nikola Jovic and Andrew Wiggins combined for poor perimeter efficiency late. A five-minute, three-point drought between 8:00 and 3:00 in the fourth quarter sealed the loss.
