What’s more, Curry now accounts for four of the seven games in National Basketball Association history that featured a 50-point performance with 10 or more three-pointers made, per ESPN Stats & Info.
Spo came from tough beginnings like I did. “He just lit a fire under us tonight”. It was a great talk.
That’s something that could change Saturday when the Heat (32-25) visits the Boston Celtics (34-25).
Whiteside’s first rebound was the 1,000th of his Heat career, in 95 games.
“We’re staying in the moment”, Curry said. He did talk with team officials today, though that’s not rare(Reynolds).
Winslow came off the bench but ended up playing 40 minutes.
“Defensively, our numbers go up. I like the thought process of bringing value and continuing to build trust”. Both teams Miami has faced over the last few days just couldn’t parallel defensively with Whiteside on the floor.
The Magic played with active hands for much of the first half, tipping passes and notching steals, frustrating the Warriors offense.
When it comes to Whiteside, the confidence appears to be back.
“I have a hard time seeing how his streak’s ever going to end”, Magic coach Scott Skiles said before the game.
The Magic were led by guard Evan Fournier with 20 points, but he managed just three in the second half when the game was decided. But he says its overblown. “They’ve got the best players at their positions to play in the flawless offensive system for them”. It was a mistake. There’s no more secure place they could keep it. The Pacers end tied 2-2 with the Heat in the season series.
Among Whiteside’s improvements since the break: better jump shooting and a better connection with point guard Goran Dragic.
Despite how poorly the Pacers had played to start the third quarter and the reserve energy the Heat had seemed to find as they continually outhustled IN, the game remained neck-and-neck throughout the fourth quarter. That one point just sent the Pacers limping into overtime where they faded away. “That would be awesome”.
-Wade started off making all 5 of his attempts in the first quarter.
Vogel said he also noticed that the Heat are attacking more of late. “We’ve got great chemistry, and we’re relying on that each and every night”.
