Miami Heat

With the prior season’s defeat in the Eastern Conference Finals at the hands of the Boston Celtics still on their minds, the Miami Heat used teamwork and cohesion to get the best of their rivals this time around. The Heat’s synergy is on full display as they hunt for the best shot, as Kyle Lowry and Haywood Highsmith play hot potato on the perimeter until Highsmith finds an opening into the paint and drops it off to an open Bam Adebayo for a thunderous slam. Adebayo’s team-high 30 points and 15 rebounds led the way, but he had plenty of help from his mates as the Heat claimed a thrilling 98-95 victory on January 24, 2023.
