The Miami Heat snapped a season-long four-game losing streak with Monday’s win over the Sacramento Kings. It was a necessary win to not only end their skid but also bring good vibes to a team in desperate need of them after the spat between star Jimmy Butler, Udonis Haslem and head coach Erik Spoelstra.
But the current top seed in the Eastern Conference can only feel so good about beating the team with the third-worst record in the West. The Heat have lost four straight games against teams with winning records, including two to fellow Eastern Conference contenders — the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets. Their last such win was nearly three weeks ago against the slumping Cleveland Cavaliers.
