Winderman’s view: Locked into losing record and play-in, Heat now need bounceback
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.

– Who the heck schedules that?
– But there also was constant pushback when Grizzlies made their runs.

– Pelle Larsson? 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...
Heat extend win streak to six with 124-103 statement victory in Boston
BOSTON – So what if this is who the Miami Heat are, or at least can be, in the post-Jimmy Butler era?
What if the 10-game losing streak was, as coach Erik Spoelstra insisted, a period of discovery?
What if from the depths of the play-in round there can be yet another postseason breakout?
