How Miami Heat’s Twitter Reacted To Win Against Oklahoma City Thunder Wednesday

The Heat hold off against the Thunder to get their second straight victory.

The Miami Heat got their second consecutive road win after a 110-108 victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder. 

The Heat now have back-to-back road wins for the first time this season. Like the Indiana Pacers game, Miami won in ugly fashion but fans are slowly learning to adapt to it.

I really don’t know how to feel about this win but I’m glad we got the W. Herro was unstoppable, 9 threes by him and the game winner. Dipo with his best game of the season, his defense was huge. We need to hold these leads, stick with what’s working.

Need Jimmy back tomorrow.

The fanbase was content with Tyler Herro’s 35-point performance, including a career-high nine 3-pointers. With Jimmy Butler out of the lineup, the Heat needed someone to close out games. Herro did exactly that, scoring 12 points in the fourth quarter and hitting the winning shot with less than six seconds left.

Fans praised Herro after previously calling for him to shoot the ball less.

The Heat started off hot from 3-point range, making 16 in the first half. Duncan Robinson looked like he was in prime form with his efficiency from deep. 

The team started shooting poorly in the second half, connecting on just eight of their last 27 3-point attempts. Fans could sense a meltdown coming, as Miami’s 20-point lead in the second quarter shrunk to two at the end of the third. They then trailed in the fourth quarter and had to make a comeback.

is the turd quarter a special segment for heat basketball?

As the season goes along, the Heat are just focused on stacking wins any way possible. Their next opportunity is against the Houston Rockets tonight.
