MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 113-92 loss to the Golden State Warriors: – Basically this simple: The Warriors had weapons, the Heat didn’t. – Or at least not enough available. – It’s not that the Heat don’t, just that they weren’t in uniform. – Which kind of matters. – Not only again without Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson and Kevin Love. – But this time without Jimmy Butler, as well, due to illness. – Not exactly how you want to go into it against Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and the rest of the Warriors who showed up. – Patty...

MIAMI — One team arrived Tuesday night to Kaseya Center fully loaded, the other significantly shorthanded. It played out as expected.

So Golden State Warriors 113, Heat 92. “We could never get it to the moment of truth,” Spoelstra said. It basically a night of Heat center Bam Adebayo looking for a friend and most of his friendly faces out of view, Butler due to illness,...

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 121-84 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers: – This is how the Heat can be both inspiring and infuriating at the same time. – Inspiring because of the bounceback after Friday night’s no-show against the Pelicans. – Infuriating because of losses like that game against New Orleans, when it seemed as if they simply could not be bothered. – A little more of what the Heat offered Sunday, and a little less of what was on display on Friday night, and there wouldn’t be this desperate scramble in the play-in bracket. – No excuses this...
