The team's last home game against the Golden State Warriors ended with a victory, scoring 116 points to Golden State's 109. This win was characterized by a strong bench contribution of 54 points and an impressive free-throw percentage, which hit the mark every time. However, turnovers were higher than desired, with 15 lost possessions that could have translated into additional scoring opportunities.


In their away game against the Sacramento Kings themselves, Miami faced challenges as they were unable to take the lead at any point during the match. Despite this setback, they managed to score 113 points due to solid shooting from both inside and beyond the arc. The team also capitalized on second-chance points but ultimately fell short by six points in a high-scoring affair.


Another away game saw Miami put up a good fight against Golden State Warriors once more but ended up losing with a score of 110-123. The Heat demonstrated aggressive defense with 16 steals but struggled with ball control resulting in turnovers that allowed their opponents significant scoring runs.


These past performances indicate that while Miami has been able to maintain offensive pressure through effective shooting percentages and capitalizing on free throws, ball security remains an area for improvement. Reducing turnovers will be crucial when facing off against Sacramento again.


The upcoming game is scheduled for November 2nd at Kaseya Center in Miami where fans can catch all action live on BSSUN network starting from 7:30 PM local time (Eastern Time Zone).
