Who is going to be the Miami Heat’s closer?
So far this season, the Miami Heat is only 5-7 in games decided by five points or less. They’re also 0-3 in games that have gone to overtime this season. In “clutch” situations this season, the Heat has the fifth-worst overall field goal percentage in the league.
Of course, these are still small sample sizes and the ultimate test will come in close games during the postseason, but these small statistics can’t be encouraging for a team that is hoping to win an NBA championship this season.
Who is going to stand up for the Heat when it comes to being a closer? Jimmy? Bam Adebayo? Kyle Lowry? Tyler Herro? The good news for the Heat is that they have options. The problem is that neither of them has been particularly good in those situations this season.
