The Miami Heat have won two straight, but why does every victory have to be so stressful?
Miami defeated the Utah Jazz 115–109 behind 30 points and 11 rebounds from Giannis Antetokounmpo, improving to 5–6 and finishing the five-game road trip 3–2.
But after leading by 23 points, the Heat nearly gave the game away in another disastrous fourth quarter!
On today's Battered Heat Fans, we're breaking down the win over Utah, Giannis playing through a wrist injury, Bam Adebayo's offensive struggles, Davion Mitchell's strong performance and Erik Spoelstra's decision to keep Pelle Larsson in the starting lineup over Andrew Wiggins.
We'll also discuss Miami's defensive problems, the latest NBA news, Eastern Conference contenders and the upcoming matchups against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons.
Are the Heat finally turning the corner, or are these close wins hiding bigger problems?
