It was in the midst of a period of unrest that the Heat went to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz. A trip which turned into a nightmare with a shock of 36 points, 136 – 100.
Pat Riley must certainly have said to himself that this Heat was not completely finished, despite the potential departure of Jimmy Butler. Perhaps this match against Jazz will force him to lower his ambitions.
To put it simply, there was no match between Utah and Miami and we are not talking about an average team from the West like the Warriors or the Suns, but about one of the worst teams in the Wild Wild West in the person of Jazz.
However, on the field, we clearly had the impression that it was Miami the team rebuilding and Utah the team looking to make the Play-In.
None of the Heat executives responded. Faced with the terrifying Walker Kessler / Lauri Markkanen racket, Bam Adebayo barely plants 4 points while Tyler Herro accompanies him well in this slump with 15 points at 4/12 shooting.
Miami is going through a bad period and we can only hope that they quickly put an end to the Jimmy Butler case in order to be able to find a certain balance as quickly as possible.
Despite everything, we must give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and salute the great performance of Jazz where the five starters passed the 10 point mark with John Collins leading the way with 24 points. Above all, we must note the MASTERCLASS of Brice Sensabaugh, author of 34 points coming off the bench.
Brice Sensabaugh can’t miss!
