Miami Heat DEFEAT Rockets, Tyler Herro TRASH-TALKS Durant, Bam Adebayo & Kel’el Ware CONTROL Paint
The Miami Heat snapped their month-long drought against winning teams with a resilient 115-105 victory over the Houston Rockets. Did Erik Spoelstra’s bold lineup shift–pairing Bam Adebayo with Kel’el Ware in crunch time—unlock the Heat’s true potential and ignite a late-season surge?
Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down the Heat’s renewed defensive intensity, highlighting Bam Adebayo’s dominant two-way play and Tyler Herro’s fiery return to the starting lineup. The conversation spotlights Pella Larsson’s rising impact, Kel’el Ware’s 15-rebound showcase, and Miami’s edge in the paint.

Starting lineup needs to be the focus for the rest of the season. Herro,Powell,Wiggins,Bam and Ware.
beat a good team for once.
👎🏿
Mitchell need to come off the bench and Hero have to start over him when Powell come back
The best part of this win is it feels easily repeatable. Bam & Pelle could score less & Herro & JJJ or Ware could score more and it would be basically the same recipe. One of their best wins of the season because they just played good basketball the whole game.
I’m sure is coaching. 👍🏻
I told y'all what KD was gonna do to Larsons. And I appreciate Spo for catching that early and putting Ware in, in the 1st; when we were down 10
Finally they play big ball!
Bro the heat are losing in the 1st round regardless
Ethical W
KD wasn’t even happy in GS after winning two rings and finals Mvps. Not sure what makes him happy.
Miami is the opposite of the Lakers. Heat loses to bad teams and beat good teams.
"they lost their defensive identity"… lol? Houston is top 5 in defensive net rating, why just talk nonsense?
