Miami Heat Get Back-to-Back Wins Without Bam Adebayo By Leaning Into Offense
Episode 2335
Miami Heat surge with back-to-back wins against the Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers, igniting optimism among fans—can this lineup keep the momentum against a formidable Cleveland Cavaliers team missing Bam Adebayo? With the team battling major rebounding deficits, Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez shine, while Pella Larson and Norman Powell step up offensively. Is Erik Spoelstra’s willingness to “commit to the bit” and push perimeter scoring making up for defensive gaps, or will Cleveland’s elite rebounders expose Miami’s biggest weakness?
Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down standout performances, surprising stats, and Miami’s evolving offensive identity. Key points include the Heat’s soaring offensive rating despite rebounding struggles, Norm Powell’s scorching first-quarter output, and Jaime Jaquez’s leap into Sixth Man of the Year contention. With two crucial games against the Cavaliers looming, can Miami’s small-ball approach outpace Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley? Don’t miss this analysis of the Heat’s resilience and the tactical questions facing Spoelstra’s squad.
