This is the 50th time the Heat have had a road trip of at least four games under Erik Spoelstra.
It’s only the second time that they’ve been winless going into the last game of such a trip. – 8:52 PM

The Timberwolves entered with the NBA’s sixth-worst team three-point percentage. With 18 of Minnesota’s first 34 shots coming from three-point range, Heat defensive plan working.
Timberwolves are 3 of 18 on threes. Heat leads 45-38. – 8:48 PM

Jovic was struggling to get his shot to fall, but started doing things that 19 year olds don’t do
Stay confident
Pushed pace two possessions in a row
Assisted to Max Strus for two left wing threes
That stuff stands out – 8:48 PM

Jovic to Strus becoming a 3-point thing. Jovic thriving with his bust-out dribbles after rebounds. – 8:47 PM

Heat up 33 to 30 after 1Q.
The good news: Competing on the boards, making shots at the rim & limiting tovs
Bad news: Have only taken six 3s compared to 13 for MIN.
Can’t count on shooting like this at the basket all night w/ Gobert involved, so need to find ways to get 3s up. – 8:40 PM

At the end of the first quarter, the @Minnesota Timberwolves trail 33-30.
Towns leads all with 12 points on 5-6 shooting, including 2-3 from deep, good for his 2nd 10+ point first quarter of the season (15 on 10/30 vs. San Antonio). KAT added 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the quarter. – 8:38 PM

Kind of a meh opening quarter. Wolves not rebounding or playing defense. 4 TOs on offense. Still put up 30 points on 9-11 inside the 3-point line, but gave up 33 to a severely shorthanded Heat team. – 8:38 PM

Strong first quarter I’d say:
– Spammed the Lowry-Bam PnR
– Got Bam going as a threat in middle of the floor
– Using Highsmith and Cain as constant cutters instead of spacers
– Plus forcing turnovers, which is the key. Force this game to be in the mud – 8:37 PM

End of first quarter: Heat 33, Timberwolves 30. Heat shooting 48 percent from the field and 7-of-8 from the foul line, but just 2 of 6 on threes. Bam Adebayo with 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. – 8:36 PM

Miami on an 11-2 run highlighted by five Haywood Highsmith points. We talked on the pod about how HH needs a boost of confidence early. Lowry got him involved, passed up an open 3 and found HH for an easy drive to get him going. HH confidently made a 3 on the next possession. – 8:31 PM

Well that’s a run by Haywood Highsmith and Jamal Cain
Highsmith hitting that open 3 when the defense helps off is crucial
Now forcing turnovers in the zone and finding Cain in his element – 8:30 PM

Love Bam’s game so far. He’s got 10 points in on 4/4 shooting in 5 1/2 minutes. Went right into Gobert with momentum, then followed that up with using a screen to get McDaniels on a switch and attack him at the basket. Bam bringing the ball up leads to good stuff. – 8:22 PM

Spamming the Lowry-Bam PnR
Needed tonight
Keep forcing 2-on-1’s, while both being assertive – 8:18 PM

I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but the Timberwolves actually enter this game with a worse defensive rebounding percentage than the Heat this season. – 8:18 PM

Ok now that we got past the “Nikola Jovic starting next to Bam Adebayo”
Now it’s time to actually *play* Jovic next to Bam for extended minutes
This is a very tough game to win…clearly
Work on the actions utilized between your two front-court guys as much as possible – 6:31 PM

So Gabe Vincent is out again
Bam Adebayo and Dewayne Dedmon expected to play
So the same roster as last night, minus Duncan Robinson

Gabe Vincent is out tonight for the Heat. Bam Adebayo and Dewayne Dedmon will warm up with the intention to play.
That will give the Heat nine available players tonight vs. Timberwolves. – 6:25 PM
