In reaction to the game, there was praise for center Orlando Robinson, who capped off his solid Summer League with a 27-point performance.

But with the endless noise around the Lillard situation, it’s going to be the talk amongst Miami fans for a while. Portland Trail Blazers general manager Joe Cronin said this could “take months” to resolve, which is the last thing the fanbase wants to hear.

They want to get Lillard soon as possible to start their journey toward a fourth championship. The Heat’s improbable 2023 run came to a halt against the Denver Nuggets, whose height advantage and depth were too much for Miami. Acquiring the seven-time All-Star may be the piece to win it all this time around.
