The Miami Heat couldn’t reciprocate the Thunder’s offensive firepower in the second half.
The Miami Heat couldn’t keep up with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second half of their Wednesday night matchup.
Even for their six players in double figures, they just couldn’t keep up offensively against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams. Instead of talking about Haywood Highsmith and Nikola Jovic combining for 34 points, we are instead discussing the 17-0 and 13-0 runs by Oklahoma City.
“It’s not that you guys lose games, it’s the way you lose it,” one fan said. “You come out like Hulk in the first half, and then in the second half, you get deflated like a balloon. Every team knows you are going to play like in the second half. They are not worried.”
You know what that means: more calls for trades. Heat fans wasted no time spamming the comment section with pictures of Donovan Mitchell in Heat jerseys.
And of course, the fair weather feelings about Tyler Herro showed once again. Some fans called out his lackluster shooting game, referencing some poor shots down the stretch.
Others defended Herro, highlighting his team impact while shooting down Mitchell trade rumors.
