They haven’t needed to go to the “just have Dame bail us out” game plan much this season but that might just be what it has to be if they’re going to get back in this one. – 9:44 PM

A star basketball player never wants to seem rattled by aggressive defense, so many times, when that star player is getting pressured, he will try to play it even cooler, almost nonchalant, and it only tightens the squeeze. Gabe Vincent did that to Dame at end of 2Q – 9:25 PM

Grant leads the Blazers with 15 points. Simons and Lillard both have 11. Blazers shooting 48.6% from the field and 41.7% on threes but have committed 12 turnovers that Miami has turned into 20 points. Yikes. – 9:23 PM

Great unselfish play by Jimmy Butler here. He prefered to pass for an open look 3 to Duncan than to score an easy layup. He shows his confidence to his teammate at this point of the game. Leader Jimmy. #HEATCulture

Portland is currently top 5 in 3 point %, yet 29th in total attempts
With that said, the Miami Heat’s zone should force them into a very different shot profile
Not a hot take, but I expect it a good bit tonight again – 7:47 PM
