Dave Hyde: Homestand is time for Heat to make a stand with season on the line

Heat Kevin Love Jimmy Butler Bam Adebayo Miami Heat Miami Philadelphia Erik Spoelstra Knicks Kyle Lowry

MIAMI — In the quiet of the losing locker room, the quiet of a season in trouble, the newest member of the Miami Heat sounded as perplexed as those who have seen it all. Kevin Love said, sure, they started strong Wednesday with 38 first-quarter points against Philadelphia.

“But they had 34,” he said.

The defense, he said, wasn’t getting set against Philadelphia’s speed. And that hot offense? It suffered from what it’s suffered from all year as the night played out. The team that led the league in 3-point shooting last year defied logic again by making just 7-of-29 in Wednesday night’s lopsided loss to the Joel Embiid-less 76ers.
