The Miami Heat's offense has finally started to come around. 

The Heat are averaging 119 points in their last eight games, including twice topping 130. They are coming off a season-high 138 points in Wednesday win against the Memphis Grizzlies

"We're scoring a lot more points. It'd be some games it felt like `90s basketball," Heat center Bam Adebayo said. "It's be like 86-89 at the end of the fourth. We just want to keep that going. I feel like everybody is in a great rhythm right now. We're starting to be fluid and I feel like we're starting to really connect." 

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said it's just a matter of everything coming together after months of work. 

"Just way more intentional, way more to our strength zones, being consistent to that, to our shot profile," Spoelstra said. "We're getting more rim attempts, a lot more assertiveness. The ball is finding where it needs to go more often and then those extra passes for 3-point shooting."
