The modern NBA's not like that, though. 10pt runs happen in 60 seconds of game-time, and can be due to nothing more than random variance.

Got to play all 48.


This.

Don’t get complacent here you need to play the full 48 minutes especially with how gritty and hard Miami is. They can rack up 3’s in no time at all.

Hold the ball isolation offense is not the answer. Stay aggressive Stevens.

Brown makes two jumpers in a row and they freeze him out. Why?

Tatum was a half a second away from an 8 sec violation bringing the ball up

Where the **** is his head at?

He looks like his pet died.

That 5-0 Miami run in the final minute is killer.

And this is why no lead is safe with this team. Complacent. 18 point lead with a minute left. We get complacent, Miami ends the quarter with a run .

Tatum not taking a three in the half until that can’t happen again.

But overall, awesome half. Need to repeat the 3rd quarter from the other night.

Poor closeout. Stevens needs to be better in those situations.

Overall a very good half though.

Wish we ended the half better. Miami has ability to come back quick when we relax.

Tatum seems a step slow on what he wants to do with the ball the last few minutes. Could have easily taken Duncan Robinson in a few of those plays especially with his three but for some reason was hesitant
