It proved to be an all-or-nothing three-game trip for the Miami Heat, culminating with Friday night’s 115-90 rout at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center.
Monday there was an early 26-point deficit and futile uphill climb in a loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
Wednesday, the Heat pushed to a 20-point first-quarter lead against the New Orleans Pelicans and rolled to their most lopsided victory of the season.
