The Emirates NBA Cup (formerly known as the In-Season Tournament) is here. The event, which gives teams something to fight for early in the season, is in its second year. Last year’s winner, the Los Angeles Lakers, will now be trying to defend their crown. Let’s focus on some of the blunders and bone-headed plays that happened in the first week.
If there was only one half of basketball, then the Miami Heat would’ve came out victorious. But it doesn’t work out that way. After leading by as many as 23 points, the Milwaukee Bucks made a huge comeback to get back into the game. And they never looked back. It was Milwaukee’s first victory over the Heat this season. The Heat are now 43-26 for the season and still remain in the fourth seed in the East.
Celeste Sabin recaps NBA All-Star Saturday Night.
After blowing out the Houston Rockets on Sunday, the Miami Heat were looking to start the road trip off right with a win. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Up by 10 at halftime, the Denver Nuggets increased their lead with a strong third quarter, outscoring the Heat 31-20 in the period. The Heat now fall to 5-2 for the season.
The New Orleans Pelicans’ G League affiliate, the Erie BayHawks – not to be confused with the Atlanta Hawks’ G League affiliate from last year, the Erie BayHawks, who are now known as the College Park Skyhawks, or the Orlando Magic’s G League affiliate from three years ago and prior, the Erie BayHawks, who are now the Lakeland Magic – held their expansion draft yesterday, and it raised some questions when it was revealed that they selected Trey Burke.
With Dwyane Wade now retired, it’s the younger Miami Heat players’ responsibility to carry the franchise forward. And every single one of them has embraced the challenge. One of those young players, Derrick Jones Jr., has his sights on the Defensive Player of the Year award.
Here are my four takeaways from the Miami Heat’s 110-105 loss to the Boston Celtics on Monday.
Brutal start
This game could’ve ended ugly. The Celtics went on a 20-4 run to start the game and led 36-17 after the first period. At one point, the Heat were down 20 points. Just like Saturday night in New York, the Heat brought themselves back into the game and cut the deficit to 12 by halftime. They even cut the lead down to three late in the fourth quarter.
