The Heat played their best game of the play offs in game 3 of this series and after an amazing run during the post season, they finally showed some regression as they suffered a down effort in game 4 losing by a DD deficit . With that said, Im betting on further regression here to the mean as the Heat begin to play down to true talent levels against a Boston side that is overall superior in talent and also in desperation mode as they look to avoid elimination and extend this series. Quote:"Yeah, everybody was in good spirits, everybody was upbeat, and as cliche as it sounds, we just tried to take it one game at a time," Tatum said. "We didn't play well the first three games, we didn't deserve to win, but we didn't want that to define us, define the season."We've still got a long uphill battle to go. But (Tuesday) was a good start. Just to try to carry this momentum toward Thursday." End quote.
Heat are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.Heat are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a double-digit loss at home.
