Dallas took air after an uneven start to the season and beat the Miami Heat taking advantage of the improvement experienced by Luka Doncic in your game. Miami, which has not started the season well either, showed a thick game, was always in tow and was lost at times.
The final result, 93-83, does not say much about the course of the game. Miami was never in contention. He started badly, although without losing his footing, he fell apart in the second quarter, lost sight of the score in the third and made up the situation in the fourth.
The Mavs went into halftime winning 46-31 and had a 24-point lead in the third act.
Before, the game had started in a terrible way. Total thickness in the attacks. In 6 minutes of play, score of 5-5 with 4 of 18 in the shot between the two teams. Tired, erratic game, without any rhythm. The first quarter ended 20-16 thanks to Miami making up the flat a bit in the final part. Between the two teams, in those first 12 minutes, 12 of 34 from the field goal and 1 of 14 from the triple.
The second quarter was from Dallas. Iguodala committed his third foul, Doncic, who still did not take off, ended up turning on a bit (incredible the dance full of fundamentals that he did to Adebayo in one play) and the game went to the break 46-31 with the former Real Madrid player taking a technique on the horn for protesting an injustice but doing it in an irreverent and unnecessary way.
At halftime, Miami was 0 of 14 from the triple! And he had only given 4 assists. The 46-31 spoke clearly of how the offensive of those of Spoelstra. A complete invalidity. Only Adebayo, Herro and the newbie Achiuwa dignified their team in the first half, while the reappeared Jimmy Butler signed one of the worst performances that is remembered. He did not appear to be in physical prime, far from it.
The third quarter ended the game. Doncic shone at last, his team ran away by 24 points and Dallas finished the fourth winning 73-53.
The meeting ended without history, with that 93-83 final. Doncic signed 27 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists, and even made 3 triples, which given how he had his sights so far seems like an achievement. Tim Hardaway Jr. he was his lieutenant on offense with 18 points, although he was not fine on the pitch.
Miami, which only made 7 triples in the entire game, had Adebayo in 19 points and 11 rebounds already Avery Bradley in 15 points. Laker’s ex is one of the few good news of this start of the year for Miami.
Meanwhile, Butler left the game without scoring a single basket in dynamic play. He made 2 points in 27 minutes with 0 of 6 on the field goal.
Now both teams are 2-3. It is striking that Dallas has obtained its victories against big teams, Clippers and Heat, while Charlotte passed it over. But these types of circumstances are becoming the general trend at this start of the season.
