MIAMI — For a rare time this season, the Miami Heat worked two practices into their schedule this week. To an extent, Friday night’s 120-108 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder at FTX Arena felt like a third.
This hardly was NBA-level competition, against a team bad when healthy and even worse when shorthanded, as the Thunder were on this night.
So as a 5-2 homestand came to an end for the Heat, who clinched another Southeast Division title with the victory, the Thunder dropped to their eighth consecutive defeat.
