Heat turn focus to regular season after loss in exhibition finale in Houston

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 21, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

The Miami Heat’s exhibition finale was more like half of an exhibition, with coach Erik Spoelstra pulling all five of Friday night’s starters at halftime of the 110-104 loss to the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center. And even the first half hardly was the whole Heat, with Jimmy Butler making it an entire preseason without action, back in Miami following a dental procedure. Still, even in closing the preseason at 2-3, Spoelstra felt tangible progress was achieved. “I thought we had a really good camp,” he said. “I thought we’ve been able to get a lot of things accomplished. Different guys at...

With Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry rested for moments more meaningful, Adebayo was active early with his midrange jumper, before yielding the floor to those trying to crack the rotation or make the roster ahead of next...

But Sunday night’s 132-124 preseason victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at Kaseya Center gave some hint of who and what the Miami Heat might be when they open their regular season Oct. 25 against the visiting Detroit Pistons. Kevin Love and Kyle Lowry each started for the second time in as many appearances this preseason. Haywood Highsmith was cast as both a perimeter and power component, some type of rotation role now seemingly likely. Thomas Bryant again played as preferred...
