Episode Details

The Miami Heat squandered a chance for a fourth straight win, falling to the Milwaukee Bucks as the defense faltered. Did Erik Spoelstra’s fourth-quarter lineup decision cost the Heat their momentum—and their shot at climbing the Eastern Conference standings? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil dissect Miami’s lack of attention to detail, defensive lapses, careless turnovers, and questionable reliance on three-pointers, spotlighting key performances from Kel'el Ware, Andrew Wiggins and others. Key topics include the impact of missed free throws, whether Spoelstra should have trusted Ware down the stretch, and Miami’s risk of slipping deeper in the play-in tournament with rising threats from the Charlotte Hornets.
