MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 121-95 victory over the Orlando Magic: – This is where the talk of a Heat Big Three largely should be reserved as a lower-case description. – Because for all that (regular-season) Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro provide, it is a trio that also requires ample support. – In this one, they got it. – Because at least during the regular season, an ensemble is what best suits the mix. – It keeps everyone engaged on offense. – Which also makes it easier to keep everyone engaged on defense. – So at the end of the third period,...
