Recap: Thunder vs. Heat (OKCThunder.com)

Wednesday night's return to Paycom Center after five games away from home was a thriller for the home crowd, and a clash of styles as both teams la...

That was kind of an acquired taste for us in the first half and I thought the way we attacked in the second half was excellent. “I was really pleased with our team tonight for a number of reasons I thought in the first half, Miami was the aggressor. On the next possession, Gilgeous-Alexander used a step-back on the baseline to knock down a jumper. The play gave OKC a 78-77 lead with just under four minutes left to play in the third quarter. Nick: Wiggins drives and spins on the baseline, attacking Duncan Robinson and flips in an acrobatic reverse layup by spinning it high up off the glass and in for an and-one opportunity. By remaining resilient and understanding that Miami’s hot shooting would eventually cool off, the Thunder laid in wait and manufactured some outside shots of its own, including a pair of back to back threes by Lu Dort and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The sequence was accentuated by a pair of catch-and-shoot 3s from rookie Jalen Williams to cut the Heat’s 21-point lead down to two at 64-62. In the first seven minutes of action, the Thunder had already racked up 14 points in the paint, including a crab dribble drive by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for a layup, then one possession later a downhill drive by Josh Giddey for a bucket at the rim. Dort came into the game shooting 40 percent from 3 over his previous 13 games, while Gilgeous-Alexander has been selective about when to bust out his step-back 3 and played the card at the right time late in the period. From there on out, this game was neck and neck, with the Thunder racking up a plus-40 point advantage in the paint while Miami hit 24 3-point attempts. Understanding that there’s high volatility in the 56 3-pointers Miami attempted, the Thunder stayed resolute and committed to its game plan and punched right back. The Thunder’s two chances on out of bounds plays were disrupted by the Heat’s top-five defense, ultimately resulting in a 110-108 Miami win.

The Miami Heat visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. We continue our NBA odds series with a Heat-Thunder prediction.

Oklahoma City backers have to be pleased with this matchup as Miami is almost as bad as the Thunder on the glass. The Thunder have been among the best teams against the spread thanks primarily to their potent offense. The Thunder are in the bottom half of the NBA in threes allowed – paving the way for potential big nights from Miami’s pair of guards. Additionally, he leads the team with 5.8 APG and has chipped in 2.8 STOCKS (steals+blocks) per game. For the season, SGA has averaged 31.2 PPG (third in the NBA) while shooting 51% from the field. Bam has been inconsistent on offense this season but has flashed the ability to carry Miami to victory. The Thunder are 16-11 against the spread while 63% of their games have gone over. The Heat are last in scoring and 27th in offensive rating. The Heat don’t do themselves any favors on the glass, ranking 24th in rebound differential and 24th in rebound rate. The Heat are 9-18-1 against the spread while 54% of their games have gone over. For the season Herro averages 19.5 PPG while shooting 38% from deep, while Strus averages 13.7 PPG on 34% from three. Outside of Bam, the Heat will need one, if not both, of their combo guards to have strong shooting nights if they want to cover.

Tyler Herro, Miami Heat stun OKC Thunder in controversial ending (Oklahoman.com)

Tyler Herro, having just buried a silky midrange jumper to put his Heat ahead, waved goodbye to Thunder fans as he strutted back to Miami's bench.

15 deadline to opt out of the current collective bargaining agreement. Wiggins was his usual solid self with eight points and four rebounds. The 22-year-old Heat guard finished with a career-high 35 points on 9-of-17 3-point shooting. The new deadline is Feb. Four times a Thunder opponent had made 14 threes in a half but never 15, much less 16. • The NBA and National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) agreed on Wednesday to extend the Dec. Giddey, like Gilgeous-Alexander, was left on the floor looking for a foul call. That sequence unfolded on the Thunder’s second inbounds attempt, which came from the baseline. Gilgeous-Alexander had 27 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. On OKC’s first inbounds play, from the sideline, Giddey tried to find a back-cutting Lu Dort for a layup at the rim. I thought I felt contact on the shot.” Coach Mark Daigneault raised his hands, Thunder fans booed and Gilgeous-Alexander was left without an answer.
