But the Heat converted on just 13 of them, or 31.7%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_huuk50auv\">It could be easy to get bogged down in the misses, especially after the Heat scored just 14 points and briefly lost the lead in a third quarter that saw them miss 10 of their 12 3-point attempts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_a22um3hud\">But the process was good. Chances are that if the Heat could get a do-over of that third period, this game would have burst open and turned into a blowout. Tyler Herro, in particular, would like a few of these back. He missed four straight 3s in the first five minutes of the second half, all of them open, catch-and-shoot looks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"style_3x0i3i\" data-mm-id=\"_3iv3grlow\" data-mm-type=\"embed\">\n<figure class=\"_sk5w3b\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"_1nhfz2\" title=\"streamable\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/o\/81k0jo\" width=\"460\" height=\"340\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-uw-rm-iframe=\"gn\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_hcu9z6tot\">Despite going 3 for 12 on 3s, this was Herro\u2019s ideal game. He was quick to shoot off the catch and attacked closeouts appropriately, using those opportunities to create plays for others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_k9wvq2tdp\">\u201cYou guys are probably thinking about all the missed shots,\u201d coach Erik Spoelstra told the team after the game. \u201cI\u2019m thinking, that was a game of beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"_9zybosqpu\" class=\"tagStyle_1rck2gq-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_9zybosqpu\">Creating live-ball turnovers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_3ia2jrinq\">The Pistons turned the ball over 18 times. Of those, 15 of them were steals by the Heat. That means 14 live-ball turnovers that the Heat could score off of (they scored 21 points off turnovers in the game).<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_jbgxr8iyy\">This is fundamental to the Heat\u2019s winning formula. The Heat led the preseason with about 15 steals per game but recorded just 13 combined steals in the first two games of the regular season before getting back to living in the passing lanes on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_dd1yj5uzw\">\u201cWe know what it looks like when we\u2019re at our best defensively, and we saw a lot of that tonight,\u201d Spoelstra said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_jk1t7bjmm\">Butler recorded four steals. He was key to setting the tone on that end and choosing his spots to swing the game, like this possession in the fourth quarter when he decided to surprise Cade Cunningham with a trap that resulted in a steal and score.<\/p>\n<div class=\"style_3x0i3i\" data-mm-id=\"_ftib7189y\" data-mm-type=\"embed\">\n<figure class=\"_sk5w3b\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"_1nhfz2\" title=\"streamable\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/o\/0s7p1r\" width=\"460\" height=\"340\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-uw-rm-iframe=\"gn\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_m0ugt22m1\">\u201cGamble,\u201d Butler said. \u201cYou just got to get like four out of six. Spo will probably get mad, but if you get four out of six, he can\u2019t be too mad. I want all the gambling in the world. That\u2019s what I do and I want everybody else to follow suit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_dnlspd68t\">Butler\u2019s proteg\u00e9, Jaime Jaquez Jr., certainly is. He recorded three steals in the game, timing his deflections like a free safety closing in for an interception.<\/p>\n<div class=\"style_3x0i3i\" data-mm-id=\"_yn1pgc78j\" data-mm-type=\"embed\">\n<figure class=\"_sk5w3b\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"_1nhfz2\" title=\"streamable\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/o\/822bts\" width=\"460\" height=\"340\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-uw-rm-iframe=\"gn\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"_u6k0i1jbg\" class=\"tagStyle_1rck2gq-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_u6k0i1jbg\">Terry Rozier throwing lobs<\/h2>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_3zhulkqi5\">If there\u2019s one thing that changed overnight since the Heat acquired Rozier in January, it\u2019s the amount of lobs thrown to Adebayo. It became an instant part of the offense after the deal last season and has been a featured player this season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"style_3x0i3i\" data-mm-id=\"_x389a32kl\" data-mm-type=\"embed\">\n<figure class=\"_sk5w3b\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"_1nhfz2\" title=\"streamable\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/o\/lwrlux\" width=\"460\" height=\"340\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-uw-rm-iframe=\"gn\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_9xlqux27i\">What hasn\u2019t been there as much are the hail mary lobs that Kyle Lowry routinely threw to Butler. If Lowry was a pocket quarterback waiting for Butler to run his vertical route, Rozier is a dual-threat quarterback, keeping his eyes downfield as he scrambles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"style_3x0i3i\" data-mm-id=\"_l7bb7cq3l\" data-mm-type=\"embed\">\n<figure class=\"_sk5w3b\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"_1nhfz2\" title=\"streamable\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/o\/q5ejqj\" width=\"460\" height=\"340\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-uw-rm-iframe=\"gn\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_jgs70wga5\">\u201cJust trying to read the defense,\u201d Rozier said. \u201cJust trying to throw it up, especially by the rim with Jimmy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s why Erik Spoelstra called the close win, &#8220;a game of beauty.&#8221;
