Winderman’s view: With Adebayo again limited, challenges mount for Heat

NEW YORK — Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 132-125 loss to the New York Knicks: – At one point early in Sunday night’s fourth quarter, all four of the Heat’s other starters had more points than Bam Adebayo. – As did three of the Heat’s reserves. – With every Heat player seeing action with at least as many points as Adebayo with the exception of rookie Kasparas Jakucionis. – No, Adebayo does not have to score to be effective. – He still does plenty on the defensive end and the boards. – But he can’t be a non-factor on offense. – Because that ups the ante...

Heat fall 132-125 to Knicks, Brunson’s 47 for seventh loss in eight games

NEW YORK — When it comes to slumps, skids and defeats in droves, it’s as if the logic for the losses is without limitation. Sometimes it’s death by 3-pointers. Sometimes it’s an opposing hot hand. Sometimes one bad stretch doing the damage. Sunday night, in falling for the seventh time in eight games with a 132-125 loss to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, it was all of the above. For extended stretches, the Knicks could not miss from beyond the arc, closing 20 of 38 For an entire night, Jalen Brunson set the tone, the Knicks guard closing with 47 points. And for the second...

Should UM’s Malachi Toney have avoided scoring, drained the clock vs. Texas A&M?

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Hurricanes star freshman Malachi Toney had a clear path in front of him. Miami’s offense had been stuck in the mud all day, but in the final two minutes of Saturday’s playoff game against Texas A&M, Toney finally got a lane to the end zone. He took it. Toney’s score put UM ahead of Texas A&M 10-3, which proved to be the final margin of victory in Miami’s College Football Playoff debut.  “They were depending on me to go out there and make a play, so that’s what I went out there and did,” Toney told the ACC Network after the game. But did Toney make the right...

Winderman’s view: Heat’s draft hits keep coming, with Jakucionis in loss showing even more

BOSTON — Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 129-116 loss to the Boston Celtics: – Yes, a loss. – But not a lost night. – Not after seeing this Kasparas Jakucionis. – For real, even in defeat. – Another first-round find? – Yes, just one night, but able to do it on both ends in his first NBA start. – In only his second career rotation action, a night after his first. – The 3-point shooting? His shots consistently true. – For this team, that helps. A lot. – But also the defensive tenacity to stand up to all Celtics’ challenges. – The Heat’s crowded backcourt rotation...

Winderman’s view: Even in victory, math still not working with Heat’s 3-point game

NEW YORK – Observations and other notes of interest from Thursday night’s 106-95 victory over the Brooklyn Nets: – Even with a needed win, the math problem continues. – The Heat simply don’t take enough 3-pointers. – With the other part of the equation is they don’t have many to make 3-pointers. – This time 9 of 28. – Nine. – With Tyler Herro out, it’s basically Norman Powell or bust. – Because it’s not Simone Fontecchio and hasn’t been for a while. – Yes, the occasional Jaime Jaquez Jr. 3-pointer is heartening. – As is a 41-footer from Powell at the halftime buzzer. – Or even the now...

Heat snap five-game skid with 106-95 victory in Brooklyn behind Powell, Ware

NEW YORK – Little has been easy for the Miami Heat lately and little will be easy for the remaining two games of this trip, on Friday night against the Boston Celtics and Sunday night against the New York Knicks. So if there was a moment for Erik Spoelstra’s team to make things right, to snap a season-worst five-game losing streak, this assuredly was it, against a Brooklyn Nets team that entered 7-18. But just as the losing streak included a home loss to the now 6-20 Sacramento Kings, nothing was a given about this one. And nothing was given by the Nets. So with offense again a struggle, it...
