How Miami Heat's Twitter Reacted To Tuesday's Win Over The Milwaukee Bucks
Many Miami Heat fans begged the team to start Nikola Jovic throughout the year.
Well, Tuesday night's blowout win over the Milwaukee Bucks justified those requests. Jovic had a career-high 24 points on 5 of 8 shooting from 3-point range, with seven rebounds and three assists.
The Heat were without Jimmy Butler, Josh Richardson and Terry Rozier, paving the way for Jovic to get minutes in the starting lineup. The sophomore forward capitalized on this opportunity, displaying why he should be in the rotation more often.
As much as we can highlight Jovic's night, it's important to acknowledge the contributions around him as well. Duncan Robinson and Kevin Love combined for 42 points on 73 percent shooting from the arc. Miami is now 9-0 this season when Robinson scores at least 20 points.
Meanwhile, Bam Adebayo recorded his seventh career triple-double with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. His all-around game this season displays why he was once again name an All-Star.
Tyler Herro rounded out the scoring in the starting lineup with 19 points, while Jaime Jaquez Jr. provided 12 points off the bench. After a rough losing streak in the second half of January, Miami is finally starting to get back in the win column again.
The Heat play the Philadelphia 76ers (32-21) Wednesday night. Philadelphia is on a two-game win streak after going 1-8 in their nine games prior.
