00:03and now 2k sports brings you thursday night in the nba with two hall of famers doris burke and
00:11grant hill i'm brian anderson ali la force our reporter and a quick look here at some of the
00:17numbers for norman powell and over the last five games his field goal percentage has increased
00:22and you can make a case his confidence as well because of this
00:28and let's check miami's starting lineup at the forward slots it's wiggins and van mitchell out
00:34there with powell rui hachimura is out there with charles bassey then there's mitchell then there's
00:39torian prince and it's ellis in at the two and his teams run through the finish line of the season
00:44grant there must be a certain amount of reflection happening for teams that are out of it they might
00:50start that process now but who has time for that if you're playoffs bound so miami wins the tip
01:01hachimura with a rebound
01:06bassey the pass to mitchell on the take
01:10rebound miami it's simple your defense has to be razor sharp on the road you really want to take
01:16the crowd out of the game easier said than done i'll tell you this it looked like they wanted to
01:21get out of town as quickly as possible the problem is their defense went with them here's bassey
01:27following the bucket by the heat shoot from the baseline prince with the bucket what you love about
01:33torrey and prince is his willingness to fit into the team scheme this guy goes about his business
01:39and contributes in every area that's a nice mid-range jumper here's out of bio pass and pulls it in
01:49ellis with it now wiggins defending
01:52pass to mitchell over out of bio and it's mitchell the miss listen that's a quality mid-range shot he
02:00just couldn't capitalize throws it down and the official calls a foul it may be a three-point play
02:08it goes on keon ellis miami shooting their first free throw of the night here
02:17free throw no good for out of bio and what makes bam special this is versatility
02:23offensively and defensively he can do a lot more out there for you than most other guys he gets it
02:29in
02:29there prince has got his second basket of the game for miami they've gone just two for four from the
02:36floor
02:39mitchell feeling it out a bit right at the free throw line no luck on that one boy that was
02:45his
02:45shot to miss this guy's a terrific mid-range shooter bassey always a nice way to start makes his first
02:52one
02:52uh coaches love assisted buckets boy it just means the team is working well together powell he's open
02:59machimura with a rebound gone three of five here in the opening quarter doris norman powell has been
03:06impressive ever since his younger days well he put people on notice in high school right he wins the dunk
03:12contest for san diego county he was on two all-state teams and won a state championship and boy he
03:18has
03:19proven a score in the league now here's out of bio 15 in his last outing his eyes opened wide
03:27out of
03:27bio knew he had a chance to do something special what a sensational move captured from the connected
03:33cam sponsored by at&t here's prince 17 foot shot on the way drained it for two points prince has
03:41got six
03:42coaches coaches loving the ball movement outside out of bio from downtown that one's good mitchell
03:51making the play boy his shot looks deadly right now already he's hit three of four to start
03:57here's mitchell and mitchell with the slam wow always fun to see point guards who can elevate above
04:05the room like that oh a strong mindset and even stronger finish boy it's incredible how much
04:12explosive scoring ability can come from the lead guard position that is a big time play not a bio that's
04:19good and we're approaching about three and a half minutes played in this first quarter past abasi on
04:27the wing achimura mitchell against mitchell
04:35bassy the pass to achimura got a bio with a steal here's wiggins throw it down on the breakaway jam
04:43now with those long strides andrew wiggins so dangerous in transition
04:53got six of eight shots to go and let's send it over to ali la force thanks i caught up
04:58with the home
04:58team's head coach like everyone he's impressed with that of ios relentless nature he said quote we have
05:04to match his intensity at both ends trying to keep him off of the glass and trying to keep the
05:09ball out
05:09of his hands coach knows they can do it for stretches but he wonders they can do it for a
05:14full game guys thank you for that ali gone seven of nine a solid percentage so far back to ellis
05:23achimura left side prince a pass to ellis drills it from deep and that's what they want to do
05:31get him open looks early heat trail by four
05:38left side mitchell up to powell that one falls nice setup by mitchell how's that for an answer
05:45norman powell says i'll see that three and raise you one pass to bassy here's ellis
05:54misses the three and here's powell he'll bring it up for the heat last game matched up with the
05:59grizzlies a tough loss there and it's not the result they were hoping for but every game is a
06:05chance to learn and make adjustments yeah i mean listen it hurts a little more when you play well
06:10and fail to close out a game that was one they should have won put your head down and go
06:16to work
06:16that's what they need to do boy the tide is running one way and then shifts back in the other
06:22direction
06:23i've lost count of how many lead changes we've had here tonight now here's ellis he had a 15 point
06:29outing in their last game against cleveland and here we go the heat fast break pulls up for three
06:36powell's shot is off listen let's not put it lightly this guy has really struggled here
06:42lets it fly a lot of bio grabs the board miami has gone two for four from range to start
06:49things off
06:53and that one is hammered home andrew wiggins simply skies to finish that shot the home team calls timeout
07:09and miami going with a whole new group out there and with the regular season coming to an end
07:15here are the new power rankings you take a look at the timberwolves they're building some momentum
07:20right now and aiming for a spot in the top five well right now for this home ball club they're
07:25vying
07:26for playoff positioning right now so they would certainly like to string together a few wins here
07:32as the season winding down offensive board and good work on the boards as they picked up the second chance
07:40points bassy's got eight points so far rebounding has been a focal point for them
07:49pass to jovic here's jacques herder defending
07:57jacques the pass to jovic oh nice finish from the low block that was good
08:02and the heat lead by three and both teams already firing on all cylinders yeah this is already a
08:08high scoring game but we knew that was a possibility coming into this one
08:14with this pause let's update you on the best rebounding teams in the nba over the previous
08:1910 games and over the last 10 games this team has brought it to the glass
08:24everyone is getting involved and trying to help one another secure boards
08:31the first one falls and the heat with some changes
08:34out of bios checked in for fontecio and jakichonas subbed in for hood chifino
08:46that's also good so he hits both free throws this is definitely not the guy to foul he
08:52loves getting to the free throw line
08:57here's jacques and you can count it he'll go to the line with a chance at a three-point play
09:03got his man all tangled up serious crossover and this is his first trip to the line tonight
09:10miami making a switch here rosier's checked in
09:21here's gillespie he's averaging just around eight and a half points a game
09:27to the paint here's herger and the lamp is good off the glass if you give him any sort of
09:34space he's gonna
09:38attack rozier a good look and again no good by miami he forced that one not a productive trip up
09:45the
09:45floor and in a way by taking that one he's bailing out the defense it's just too easy to stop
09:52these
09:53teams have really gone back and forth yeah five lead changes already this one's going to be a battle for
09:59short gone two for three from outside the arc and they've been producing at a high level
10:05no question they're in a nice rhythm offensively gillespie can't get it to go
10:14here's hero and count it from 12 feet and the heat lead by one nice dribble move to get to
10:21the hoop
10:21for an easy two bam out of bio has been leading the charge with the heat hunting for opportunities
10:27leading to nine points in the quarter and don't go far we'll be right back
10:48and if you're just joining us it's been a pretty even game through the first quarter
10:52let's quickly break down what we've seen from the heat oh what i love was that first quarter was all
10:57about leaking out and capitalizing in transition and why wouldn't they you see their effectiveness
11:03in the open floor very difficult to slow down
11:11they've got james kevin hurter out there with peyton watson then it's zeke nagy and it's gillespie
11:17in at the point out of bio grabs the board out of bios got four rebounds now and for miami
11:25hero and
11:26jacques jr team up in the backcourt yowich and bam play together inside and it's montecchio in at
11:32the three slots grant since he's coming to the league what's jumped out to you about hero's
11:36development well i've liked seeing his growth in running the pick and roll he's not just a jump
11:41shooter anymore he's a guy that can anchor an offensive unit ba they're not messing around five
11:48of their last six buckets have come from the interior hurter passes to watson
11:54here's gillespie and he's in the books now one for two just love the unselfishness there keep the
12:01ball moving good things happen
12:06pontechio outside hero for three oh he missed that one one for three in this one so far this has
12:13been a
12:13close game in a lot of ways but they do have an edge on the boys and the whistle blows
12:19as the basket
12:20counts chance at a three-point opportunity here one free throw coming up
12:28well when we talk about what it takes to win a championship star power is often the first thing
12:33mentioned to us well ba we know that talent is what wins basketball games at any level there's
12:38no question you need one star and more often than that at least another but really overall
12:44roster construction is critical wow eight lead changes in the first half unbelievable yeah both
12:51sides digging in for what looks like a war gillespie passes to nagy over out of bio less shot by
12:58nagy
12:58no good and so hero will bring it up for the heat the three is up watson with a rebound
13:06boy still trying to get comfortable out there right now pass to gillespie here's nagy now watson
13:14hawk has covered in that one good watson's got his first points in this one they are passing the ball
13:22around tremendously right now and here's a timeout from eric spolster now he's going to take a minute to
13:28regroup with his players
13:44two minutes now played in the second quarter
13:48pass to arabayo
13:54to the middle here's jovic yes and it's out of bio picking up the assist credit their discipline
14:02they've been working for high percentage shots got three of six shots to go here in the second quarter
14:10a nice shot by watson watson's got four points now in the quarter and another great assist the offense
14:18is really clicking now here's jaquez five points in the game
14:28inside here's out of bio and finished off by out of bio what a confident dunk by out of bio
14:35he knows
14:36there's little the defense can do once he's elevated prince on the attack here's holmes
14:43rebound miami boy that mid-range area he just didn't look comfortable let's be honest hero no good
14:50he hasn't helped the cause with his shooting but his teammates have had his back here's watson
14:57some solid d from jaquez that's going up against a defense that knows your tendencies here's hero
15:04hero that one's good makes him three for seven you're busting his way inside hero making sure he kept
15:11moving toward the hoop
15:13pass to watson now holmes now here's ellis jaquez covers and it's good for two
15:20ellis has got five points miami has gone oh for four from beyond the arc here in the second quarter
15:28here's jaquez and here's fontecio drops in the three and an excellent job distributing the ball tonight
15:36you can really see his feel for the game and that's been his role pretty much from the opening tip
15:42get the
15:43ball to guys where they can score it the home team calls timeout
15:52bassy he's checked in for holmes so miami going with almost an entirely new group here
16:09gone five of ten in the second quarter
16:11it's prince on the wing bassy the pass to prince pulls up miami grabs the miss that's not a bad
16:19shot but this isn't really his shot here's powell and off the left side of the rim it swirls in
16:28for
16:28him now it's a six point heat lead okay we see the mid-range game of norman powell starting to
16:35take shape
16:35doing work and he knocks it down he's three of five now from the floor he's finally started to
16:43settle down here in the second quarter just needed to work up a sweat it's powell on the wing
16:49yes and it's out of io picking up the assist now's got five points in the quarter this guy is
16:56always
16:56shot ready norman powell's instincts as a score are exceptional back to mitchell
17:03to the inside
17:06and it's miami with a rebound autobio's got six rebounds now in the game
17:1313 feet out mitchell misses gotten six shots to fall out of 13 attempts here in the second
17:21ellis passes to bassy back to ellis goes up and lays it in nice and easy ellis has got nine
17:29points he's
17:30been a marksman this period the shot mechanics finally in sync wiggins outside
17:38oh wiggins with the silky touch at the rim a dribble move gets a little separation and that's all
17:45wiggins needs that's pretty
17:49stolen by mitchell here we go all alone and here they go it's tipped
17:58here's bassy nice pass nice catch and a resounding dunk now ba you know they would love for him to
18:05get more of those opportunities well that would cut into the deficit quickly if he does and here's a
18:11timeout from eric scolster now he'll take the opportunity to regroup it's now an opportunity
18:17to take a break and talk about their strategy moving forward well there's something that the coach
18:22doesn't like i'm curious to see which kind of adjustment he makes here
18:26hachimura has checked in for watson and miami also making a switch haquez is checked in
18:47powell outside
18:50here's wiggins and it's going to be a goaltending call here so they will count the bucket yeah it was
18:56just a little late i mean he thought he got there but the ref saw it otherwise
19:05gone eight of 15 in the second
19:10ellis outside
19:13pass to achimura pulls up on the wing good he hits the jumper
19:18achimura's got his first two points of the night and off the jump they were effective from deep
19:23i don't know why they haven't continued to fire from out there
19:27hachimura is no good the battle of the boards has been something to watch
19:31and it's slammed in by hachimura this young man has got some big time athleticism
19:37hachimura getting off the floor and finishing with no doubt
19:45outside mitchell
19:47and he drives in to the right side he shoots it bassy pulls it in bassy's got nine rebounds in
19:55the
19:55game boy he's getting it done past to achimura
20:00it's prince on the wing shoots over wiggins prince with the bucket and it's now just a one-point miami
20:06lead the torian prince making the jump shot look easy right there boy is he confident
20:13and mitchell with the slam and plays like that one can make the difference in a close game and it
20:20definitely got the bench on their feet too well credit him for going for it not settling saying
20:26i'm going to attack ellis's shot is off miami leading by three four seconds separating the shot and
20:34game clock powell finds mitchell that one falls his second make in five attempts boy creating
20:40opportunities at point-blank range this is exactly what you want pass to prince now bassy
20:49prince the pass to bassy and the shot goes bassy's got four points now in the quarter creating
20:56easier opportunities for your guys to score that is good offense for three powell oh and the release
21:04was before the buzzer but it's all target and a pretty tightly contested game here as we end the first
21:10half it's the heat up by three all right now let's check in with ali la force ali what do
21:16you have
21:17coach it's been a hard-fought game a lot of hustle plays what gets you over the hump in the
21:21second half
21:23well we just have to keep on grinding that's what this kind of game is like uh you know in
21:28many ways it feels like a playoff game but those plays right there ball in the air ball on the
21:33floor
21:33we gotta we gotta make sure we're dominating those areas uh and then make some plays we'd love to see
21:39playoff intensity there in the second half thanks coach okay ali appreciate it and folks will be back
21:45after halftime to begin the third quarter glad you're joining us for halftime and fellas how about
22:04bam out of bio getting it done to start the game and what he did to those defenders you know
22:11they're in
22:11the locker room right now discussing ways to keep the ball out of his hands that may be the only
22:18way
22:18to stop him because even against doubles he's been accurate
22:25now let's go ahead and recognize the player of the month award recipients for the western conference
22:32nikola jokic the talent of the jokers being recognized big achievements for the big man from serbia
22:40he's one of those players that can win at any time yeah he's asked to do a lot i'm telling
22:45you
22:45but he ends up doing it and he gets a lot of triple double shot and that's it for halftime
22:52thank you
22:53for joining us we send you back to brian anderson for the start of the third quarter
23:11and in that first half we saw a pretty tight battle we'll soon find out what sort of adjustments were
23:17discussed during halftime how about andrew wiggins man is he playing well the numbers say it all he
23:23spent the first half playing efficient ball i think they've taken their time they've showed incredible
23:29patience it's a sign of a well-coached ball club
23:42we've got second half action for you and if the next couple of quarters are similar to the first
23:47this one could go down to the last possession rui hachimura is out there with prince then there's
23:52keon ellis then there's mitchell and it's bassy in at the pivot spot manning the middle now here's
23:58powell and for the heat powell at the two with wiggins at the three then it's bam on a bio
24:04then there's
24:05mitchell and that one drops for him that's ten straight points they've given up in the painted area huh
24:14mitchell against mitchell hachimura from long range the rebound by wiggins heat leading by five
24:22powell for three the shot misses oh that's a tough break after poor communication defensively it leaves
24:30them all by himself ellis hey now five for eight shooting a pretty good percentage right now well
24:36rui hachimura has a chance to set up a teammate and look at the delivery well done powell outside
24:43three-pointer that one falls nice setup by mitchell mitchell's got his sixth assist of the night
24:50he just brings a great feel for the game at the offensive end
24:56hachimura the pass to ellis here he goes rebound miami boy what a frustrating sluggish start to this half
25:04brutal launches the three and it's mitchell the miss gotten only one of four shots to fall in the
25:12second half down low here's achimura and he banks in the layup achimura's gotten his third basket of
25:19the night well this is the area that he's most comfortable rui hachimura such a solid performer
25:24in the painted area oh and there's the whistle on the shot so two free throws for him coming up
25:29i like that i mean some physical play inside he's not about to give up any easy baskets
25:35he's got his first free throws of the night right here
25:46and the first one at the line is good well one thing there's no question about is that norman powell
25:52is a gifted athlete now it's about rounding out that game particularly his shooting and so powell
25:59nails them both the home team calls timeout
26:12and a look here at the scoring trend over the last several months for tyler hero i don't think
26:19anyone expected to see his production drop off the way it has over the last few games but i have
26:25to
26:25credit the defenses he's been facing they've done their homework and they're finding ways to hold him
26:30down and now he needs to find new ways to beat them now here's mitchell five points in the game
26:36back to achimura over on a bio and it's achimura missing and wiggins has got the ball here for miami
26:44six point game they host the hawks after this one it'll be the first of five games in a row
26:50at home well you love to see norman powell be unselfish and find an open teammate that's pretty
26:58here's ellis money from the wing ellis has got 13 now
27:05miami leading by six
27:09with the crossover here's wiggins that one falls nice setup by mitchell
27:16mitchell's got his seventh assist of the game with that last one
27:21gone three of seven here in this third quarter mitchell the pass to bassy
27:25and he throws it down with one hand flying in with the one hand slam that right there was a
27:33statement finish
27:37pass to out of bio
27:42now wiggins 14 points for him and finished off by out of bio
27:48well late rotation by the defense and wiggins has the vision to find the open man
27:55here's prince ellis with it now wiggins defending
28:00back to ellis shoots over wiggins ellis's shot is off
28:06the heat have gotten five of seven attempts in the third quarter
28:10a good look from wiggins and again it's miami converting boy more points on the board for wiggins
28:16how about this guy this is a memorable night all right let's check in with ali la force
28:21hey commissioner adam silver talked about us youth development in hoops he said when young
28:26players are a part of a singular organization there's much more of an incentive to bring players
28:30along as opposed to a win now mentality and that's something that we can learn from europe brian
28:36taking that long view approach all right thank you ali here's mitchell after the basket by miami
28:45on the wing achimura counted by out of bio offensive rebound second chance shot achimura with the
28:52bucket getting it done inside achimura's got eight boy even with the contact ruy achimura doesn't lose
28:59his touch or his concentration so tough to distract this guy powell's shot is off
29:06gone over two from outside here in the third back to achimura past to bassy
29:13pulls it and it's good off the back rim and in achimura's got six in the quarter
29:20what a smooth catch and shoot opportunity from ruy achimura pretty
29:28to the middle and he dunks it down whoo defensively you can't afford to let him
29:35get to the rim that easily well that might be why their deficit is what it is right now
29:39i'll tell you you can't get stops if you're unwilling to put in the work the home team calls timeout
29:48gillespie's checked in for mitchell the 2k leaderboard featuring the best shooting team
29:54since the break this is a hot offense recently they've had no issues getting the ball in the hoop
30:09gone six of 13 to open up this second half
30:13pass to prince takes the three and he drains it a solid five for six now this guy has spent
30:19his
30:20career underrated prince can stretch the defense and do a lot of little things for you
30:26back to powell 4-3 bassy pulls it in bassy's got 13 rebounds in the game glass heating
30:38gillespie passes to ellis he drops it from range and now it's just a four point heat lead
30:44their ball movement on this run has been tremendous it's led to a lot of good clean open looks
30:53shoots off the step back bassy pulls it in bassy's got 14 yep 14 rebounds for him tonight
31:03takes it inside and a two-handed jam they've been aggressive during this run but they've also played
31:10under control i think the communication on offense is working at every level right now what a run for
31:16this group now here's powell he's got 13 that one drops for him and just an important basket i mean
31:25especially with their lead dwindling gillespie passes to bassy
31:32puts it up misses off the right iron and it's jacques with the ball for the heat
31:38they held a 12 point lead earlier achimura with the ball guarded by atabayo passy good
31:47his energy is unmatched the finishing transition nice and easy and here's a timeout from eric
31:55fullster now and we might see some changes coach potentially looking to adjust
32:09for miami pontecio comes in for anabayo and it's smith in for powell
32:2559 seconds left in the third quarter count that bucket boy how about that pass he put it right
32:32where it needed to be forgotten two of four threes to fall here in this third quarter
32:37pass to prince jacks up a three another basket he's now six for seven in the contest
32:43this defense just can't stay connected to shooters
32:47smith passes to fontecio and here's hero fontecio with a screen
32:54hero no good
32:57gotten five of 11 threes to drop so far in this game and the basket by achimura they just look
33:03so
33:03overwhelmed inside that's why they continue to get attacked three second difference between the shot
33:09clock and the game clock pass to smith here's the three he can't get it to go
33:16going three of five from downtown here in the second half picked it
33:24hero looking over the floor outside jacques the three on target from range jacques has got eight
33:32points here in the second half this game still nipping top just an insane amount of lead changes the fans
33:39are
33:39getting their money's worth and at the close of the third quarter still a close game both teams
33:44putting up points in a hurry miami out in front they lead by a bucket after a quick break we're
33:50coming right back with the start of the fourth quarter
33:57and it's time to bring up the state pharmacist of the game you know i'm kind of stoked this was
34:02a
34:02choice because i love this pass a remarkable find he put his court vision on full display well making
34:10the game easy for your teammates all about putting them in a position to score that's pretty
34:17three tenth quarters behind us one more to go thanks for being with us as we get ready for the
34:23fourth
34:24we've got kevin hurter zeke nagy out there with peyton watson then there's mitchell and it's gillespie
34:29in at the point guard position yeah a versatile player hero is terrific at sensing when his guys
34:36are open here's gillespie that one's good mitchell making the play mitchell's got nine assists now
34:43tonight and they have a never give up attitude no doubt keeping it very close they're going to have to
34:49step up even more to get over the hump here you're rising up on a dime i love seeing hero
34:56be assertive like
34:58this gillespie passes to hurter here's watson from seven feet and it's off the back of the rim no good
35:06no he will kick himself for that one that was a tremendous opportunity hero outside the three is up
35:13and the heat another three smooth shot by hero notice how he doesn't rush himself this is why you want
35:22ball movement and player movement and that's made it hard for the defense to key in on any one
35:27individual they're going at it on offense neither team backing down i'll tell you we have seen great
35:34execution from both teams neither one giving an inch here and there it is for him another bucket this guy
35:42just keeping his foot on the gas pedal pass to watson and here's hurter he's guarded by fontecchio
35:50lets it go and it falls all over the rim and in gillespie's gotten four this quarter and their
35:57perimeter shooting numbers have been up since the start of the second half and eric spolstra decides to
36:02call timeout no doubt he's going to utilize the opportunity to make sure they're all on the same page here
36:15passy he's checked in for nagy and miami also making a switch pow he's checked in for fontecchio
36:22and from the sideline let's catch up with ali over that last break i got a chance to hear what
36:27eric
36:27spolstra said to the team he said keep it going guys ride this wave of momentum we're playing great
36:32right now but we can't let up guys back to you thanks for that ali paquez that's good
36:40gone three of four in the fourth and looking confident on offense herder passes to watson
36:47from the arc herder can't hit and he probably thought he was going to bury that one
36:53to the paint here's jaquez takes the assist and lays it in nice setup and it's a 10-point miami
37:01lead
37:01and guys the way this defense is getting manhandled down low you have to wonder if they're at a hundred
37:07percent right now back to lawson there's herder with the three he buries it from three some shooters
37:16might overthink a wide open shot not this guy outside out of bio
37:24the size and power from bam inside they have no answer defensively inside
37:32gone one of two from deep in this quarter
37:36pass to bassy
37:39outside mitchell bassy up top
37:43inside here's watson uses the glass to finish the layup watson's got four points now in the quarter
37:49at that range it is about finishing strong you can't hesitate for three powell
37:56bassy pulls it in i mean i guess you can appreciate the confidence but his three-point
38:01shooting has been brutal this half some solid d from jaquez boy he couldn't have asked for a better
38:08look that's tough to take hero outside lets it go from deep not going to go that time
38:16we've got six of 13 shots to go from outside the arc up again here's herder uses the glass on
38:23the
38:23layup now just a five-point miami lead the defense getting out hustled on the putback can't let that
38:30happen you have got to put a body on somebody we talk about it ad nauseam but you've got to
38:36be
38:36disciplined with the box outs very little resistance around the rim right now that's the fifth straight
38:42bucket they've given up in the paint back to bassy he gets it to go again nine for 13 so
38:52far
38:53yeah just doing his part staying active and converting at a high rate and he has really
38:59kept them in this one the high effort level now the rest of the team has got to step up
39:06done seven for 11 so far on the fourth back to mitchell passy pass to herder here's gillespie shoots over
39:14hero and good as it takes a nice bounce off the right iron and down the value of good ball
39:20movement
39:21is it lost on this squad
39:29yes sir
39:31make it in the layup norman powell on the big time delivery the home team calls timeout
39:43team

40:02go on one of two from deep in this quarter
40:07machimura
40:10oh he stayed with it and got it to go
40:13boy you can see this guy's work ethic he just refuses to give up on that possession
40:18and he gets rewarded for it outside wiggins
40:25from deep and wiggins knocks down the three
40:29yeah still working on consistency from range but improved shot mechanics for andrew wiggins
40:35outside achimura
40:41releases yes sir it's the jumper the name of the game isn't scoring it's scoring efficiency
40:49out of bio with a powerful jam i'll tell you bam is having a massive impact on this game they

41:48cool calm and collected at a critical juncture in this game
41:53and it's mitchell with the ball for the heat
41:56wide open look oh he cannot hit 55 seconds left in the fourth quarter
42:05rebounded by out of bio
42:08mitchell with the ball guarded now by mitchell and he commits the intentional foul

42:25and they go to the intentional foul
42:30second personal foul
42:31second food foul
42:34shooting for the heat
42:36davion mitchell
42:38taking two shots
42:43he gets the first and that increases the lead to six
42:55and he hits both free throws here and it's a seven-point game that's exactly how to close out a
43:01game
43:01take advantage of every opportunity
43:05here's mitchell
43:09now achimura
43:10it's in
43:16and an intentional foul right there

43:43first clean look they have i mean they've got to take it
43:46they've got to be efficient with the clock quick score quick foul
43:51the triple drop oh how about the dime you love that on selfishness
43:57and they're going to prolong the game with an intentional foul
44:00yeah just a must-foul situation to stop the clock
44:15first free throw is good
44:16and that gives him a four-point cushion
44:25second one is good getting both at the line
44:27and it's a five-point game he's able to make it a two-possession game with some
44:32solid work at the line right there the home team calls timeout
44:37from a coaching perspective what are the keys to focus on here
44:41no doubt they've got to get a quick bucket here
44:43they need to score and they need to do it quickly but it is still possible here
44:54here's mitchell
44:57beyond the arc
45:00rebounded by mitchell and so they choose to intentionally foul
45:04first personal foul 15 foul
45:08shooting for miami
45:11northern power at the line for two
45:16and that hurts as he doesn't get the first one to fall trying to focus now for the second
45:25and he's able to hit the second one and that increases the lead to six
45:35mitchell outside for three oh the shot is off so the heat win it just a gutsy performance on the
