Hi friends from 5 Reasons, welcome back to our YouTube channel, this is our quick reaction
right after the Miami Heat win 118-113 against the San Antonio Spurs, the 5th win in a row
for the Miami Heat and their record is now 6-4, they won 2 games in a row in the road
against Atlanta and now San Antonio and now their record is 6-4, 3-3 as an away team.
I feel like this game, it felt in the first half, especially when San Antonio got 19 points
up, it felt like, you know what, the Miami Heat did already what they could in this road
trip, this weekend road trip, it was a complicated situation going to Atlanta one night knowing
that they didn't have Tyler Herro or Jimmy Butler for that game, winning that game against
Atlanta, Trey Young and company over there and then flying that night to get to San Antonio
and play Wembley and the San Antonio Spurs and the way the game started, it felt like
you know what, this is going to be a rough night for the Miami Heat, let's just pack
our things and go back and don't even worry about what happened in this game but that
comeback, coming back from 19 points down was impressive and not only that because they
were also down by more than 10 points in their 4th quarter and they came back and won this
game by 5 points, scoring 36 points in the 4th quarter, 35 in the 2nd quarter and 32
in the 3rd quarter after only scoring 15 in the 1st quarter so that was really impressive
and talking about impressive, we have to talk about Duncan Robinson, I think that was probably
his most impressive offensive performance in his career or at least what I remember
from watching the Miami Heat in the last 4 or 5 years, I mean his points, it was not
his top performance when we talk about points, points wise but the things that he did, not
only, I mean he was 4 for 7 for the 3 point line but just attacking the basket, going
left, right, fake pumps a couple of times, making defenders fly over him, Wembley was
all over the place trying to get to where Duncan Robinson was going, I think it was
really impressive and as Reid was saying during the broadcast in the game, you can
see the development of this guy and the way he's worked through a lot of things and I
feel like this is the main story, tonight of course Bamer Bayo keeps just carrying the
team, this time 10 for 20, in field goals I know a lot of you were expecting more and
more from Bamer Bayo in the last couple of seasons, especially on the offensive side
because we've seen what he can do when he's defending but in the last couple of games
we've seen him really take charge on offense and in that comeback in the last couple of
minutes, not the last couple of minutes but the last quarter the Miami Heat was down by
more than 10, he was a key element there before Jimmy Butler and company took over Bamer Bayo
as well, again 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and a great defensive performance battling
with Wembley and all the San Antonio Spurs big guys, also Josh Richardson, he just scored
12 points but he did score 5 really important points in the last quarter and you can see
a little bit of that old Josh Richardson and I love seeing that in him, I think he's going
to be really important and of course every support that the offense gets right now with
no title hero, no Kyle Lowry tonight, it's going to be important, Haywood Heisman tonight
he didn't score any points, he was actually a minus 20, you go to a plus minus individually
in this game but other than that, those things don't always tell the entire story like Bamer
Bayo was minus 10 in this game and Buffer was plus 14 and Duncan was plus 22 so I guess
in Duncan's case you can kind of tell that, yeah maybe it tells the story but anyway the
Miami Heat wins this game, they're probably really happy with what happened this weekend
of course, Popovich is probably not going to be happy after the team was up by 19 points
and they just threw away that advantage and then they build another kind of cushion in
that last quarter and they let it go once again, so Jimmy Butler coming back from his
off day for personal reasons, 19 points, he was 5 for 14, not especially a good percentage
there from the field tonight, he scored a couple of key points there in the field line
in the last couple of minutes and that's what kind of took him to 19 points but he
was getting back to it, he did play 37 minutes and he was key in a couple of defensive plays
as well as Jaime Jacquez Jr., we're going to have to be talking more and more about
this guy, he's bringing it, I mean he didn't start the game but he did play only less minutes
than Bamer Bayo, Jimmy Butler and Duncan Robinson, Duncan Robinson was actually the one who played
the most minutes tonight with 39 minutes, so Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jacquez Jr. was
the 4th one with 32 and Smith was the 5th one actually with 27 minutes, so a lot of
good things coming off the bench for Miami Heat in this game, 11 points for Jaime Jacquez
Jr., 6 rebounds, 12 points from Smith, 4 rebounds, 3 assists as well, so thank you very much
