Miami Heat’s Remaining Five Games Of Homestand Could Define The Season
The Miami Heat’s next five home games are potentially the most important of the season.
The Heat have lost five of six games and are 1-3 since the All-Star break. After Wednesday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Heat’s center Bam Adebayo touched on the importance of the next five games.
“We run off these games, I feel like it’s a different look, a different energy, the media will start liking us again,” Adebayo said. “It’s a big five games for us. Let that game go we just had and focus on the next five.”
The Heat open the difficult stretch against the Knicks, who have won seven straight and streaking at the right time. They then play the Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers twice. All five games are against playoff contenders.
Even after the stretch, the Heat won't be fully in the clear. They play the 13th-seeded Orlando Magic but Miami had trouble against non-playoff teams this season.
