The Heat is also now 7-2 this season when opening a game with its new starting lineup of Herro, Duncan Robinson, Jimmy Butler, Haywood Highsmith and Bam Adebayo. This unit has outscored opponents by 20.7 points per 100 possessions in 116 minutes together since becoming the Heat’s starting lineup three weeks ago. “I feel like everyone is sharing the ball and making the right play offensively,” Herro said. “Defensively, playing together, talking, communicating, covering for each other, doing all the things that are required to win in this league. Then, obviously, the goal is to win a championship. But I think it starts now with building the habits, building all the things that we’re going to need come April, May.” -via Miami Herald / December 9, 2024
