In last season’s NBA playoffs, the Miami Heat were undoubtedly the biggest underdog in the East. Despite not having an outstanding record during the regular season, they managed to make it all the way to the finals thanks to their tough defensive play. This is also why, even though their regular-season record is poor this season, many fans still have high expectations for them. However, the best way to determine a team’s actual fighting strength is through their performance on the court. In the first round of the playoffs, when they faced the Bucks again, the Heat had no chance of standing up to them; they struggled to contain their opponents defensively, and their offensive performance fell short of expectations. This was the reason they lost all three of their first-round games! Behind by a large score of 0-3, the Heat faced a crucial match at home. Compared to the previous two games, the Heat performed well in the first half of this match, managing to take a double-digit lead at one point. However, in the second half, as the Bucks increased their intensity on both offense and defense, the Heat were no longer able to cope, and they lost again with a score of 103-120, suffering another crushing defeat at the hands of their opponents!
