Victor Oladipo, in his preseason debut, is running the Heat offense. It’ll be interesting to see if that trend continues or if they are just trying to get him the reps right now. – 7:52 PM

Jalen Green 3 of 3 on 3s, off slick moves, too. KPJ 3 of 3, two of those on 3s. The Rockets can work with their starting backcourt combining for 17 points in 5 1/2 minutes. – 7:52 PM

During the Finals here one year, a bunch of us kept count of how many times the visiting team scored while the PA guy was still calling the Heat scorer and assist. Rockets nearly beat him with the first bucket, but if they don’t, they are not playing fast enough. – 7:43 PM
