GAME PREVIEW: HEAT AT LAKERS


by NBA.com

The Miami Heat have won four of five for the first time this season and they'll try to stay on a roll when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center on Monday.

The Heat (11-14) are coming off back-to-back double-digit road wins against the Phoenix Suns on Friday and the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.

The Lakers (16-10) will also be playing their third game in four days after losing at the San Antonio Spurs on Friday and winning at the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday. Los Angeles has won five of its past six.

The Lakers beat the Heat 113-97 in Miami on Nov. 18.

Lakers forward LeBron James scored a season-high 51 points in his return to Miami, where he played four seasons, reaching the 50-point mark for the 13th time in his career.

The rematch on Monday will be the final time James and Miami guard Dwyane Wade will be on the floor together. Wade is retiring after this season.

James and Wade teamed up when James signed with the Heat in the summer of 2010. They led Miami to four straight NBA Finals appearances, winning two championships before James returned to Cleveland following the 2013-14 season.

"It's bitter and it's sweet. It's sweet and sour," James told the Orange County Register. "The sweet part about it is I've always loved being on the same floor with my brother. We struck up a relationship together at the Combine in 2003 and it started from there. And the sour part about it is that this is our last time sharing the same court."

The Lakers will be without forward Brandon Ingram for the third straight game. He sustained a sprained left ankle against the visiting Spurs on Wednesday. Ingram is third on the team in scoring at 15.2 points a game.

The Heat might also be short-handed.

Josh Richardson, the starting shooting guard for Miami and the team's leading scorer at 19.2 points a game, missed Saturday's game with a shoulder impingement. Tyler Johnson, who started in place of Richardson against the Clippers, left the game with a left hip contusion.

Goran Dragic also didn't play against the Clippers so he could rest, and Hassan Whiteside (personal reasons), Wayne Ellington (personal reasons) and Dion Waiters (ankle surgery) are not on the trip.

Miami coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters after the win against the Clippers that he's impressed with his team's perseverance.

"When you're coaching in this league, you want to have a group like this," Spoelstra said. "When they show up for shootaround and you know that even more guys are not playing, that guys look forward to the challenge instead of trying to make an excuse and get on to the next game. So we really had to show a tremendous amount of perseverance and grit in this, and get a lot of contributions. You can't just talk about grit, guys have to actually play well and step up."

Wait, so the Heatless (get it) creamed the Logoclipps WITHOUT all those guys at Staples Center on Saturday? Man, this league is a head scratcher at times I tell ya. Hopefully Luke and LeBron will have us focused tonight. There are two days off before the road trip, so there's no reason not to empty whatever might be left in the tank and leave it all on the floor tonight.

Tonight also marks the end of the first trimester, so we'll be handing out our grades over the next few days. With BI and Rondo still out (the number of games they have missed automatically drops their respective grades), it gives guys like Josh Hart, Svi, Lance and KCP to improve their grades. I'm sure Zo's marks will be all over the place!

Go Lakeshow! Let' s make it 17-10 at the 1/3 pole!!!

Third quarter and we got the lead back, 71-67. This is OUR building! Let's put the Heatless away and finish the First Trimester 17-10.

Funny how a guy who only averages 10 points a game (Winslow) plays like a Hall of Famer against us so far. Dude has 28 points and is 11-19 in FG's, 6-9 on 3's. I mean really :WTFface: . Enough really to make anyone steaming mad! Lakers down 96-93 midway through the 4th.

Yeah it's nuts but it looks like we may pull this out. Glad to see LeBron make his FT's in crunch time.

Great game! Well .. great result at least and it was a thriller! On pace to win 51-52 games, BUT we're 15-5 in the last 20, so maybe we should be thinking about being a little greedy. Just sayin' ....

And the days of not figuring out how to finish games APPEAR to be behind us as Rondo and BI continue to heal.

The Heat was on. A win, but maybe kind of a loss in that we couldn't put them away? Oh well. They got up for us, apparently. 17-10 ain't too shabby, let's see if we can keep this momentum going.

Yeah I will take 17-10 all day with 33% of the season over. Glad we pulled this one out, that was close.
