MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Thursday night’s 110-108 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies: – A stinging night for sure. – Locked now into a losing record for the first time since 2018-19. – With the Bucks winning on Thursday, locked into the play-in round for a third consecutive season. – And the six-game winning streak over. – This one very much for the Heat had the look of a team not only completing a back-to-back set, but also returning from a week on the road. – Who the heck schedules that? – But there also was constant pushback when Grizzlies made their runs. –...

Willing to stand up defensively to the likes of Jayson Tatum. – Kyle Anderson? Still can slow play his way to meaningful scoring. – Davion Mitchell? Won’t back down (even if that can be to his detriment). – Bit players in the bigger...

What if from the depths of the play-in round there can be yet another postseason breakout? Why those questions now? Because now there has been a statement victory, one against Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics. Wednesday night the winning streak reached six with a 124-103 victory at TD Garden, a statement win even if the Celtics were without Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and Al...
