Eric Gordon scored 23 points off the bench, Devin Booker scored 22 and the Suns added to Miami`s woes with a 118-105 win Monday night, handing the Heat their seventh consecutive loss.
Jimmy Butler scored a game-high 26 points for Miami, which was 24-16 and fifth in the Eastern Conference just two weeks ago. The Heat are now 24-23 and mired in the play-in tournament range, three games behind Indiana in the loss column for the sixth and final guaranteed playoff berth.
Terry Rozier scored 21 and Tyler Herro had 17 for Miami.
“I just want to see the effort, the toughness, the physicality, the force, the multiple efforts to get through this to see what’s on the other side,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We know that there’s something that potentially can be great on the other side. But you got to go through it. You`ve got to go through the fires together and these uncomfortable times together.”
It`s the first seven-game losing streak for Miami since a seven-game slide late in the 2007-08 season, the season before Spoelstra took over for Pat Riley. That `07-08 team — which finished 15-67 and, to put it charitably, wasn`t exactly trying to win a lot of games — had four such streaks of seven or more losses that season.
Before that, the last time a Miami team lost seven straight was the start of the 2003-04 season, when Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem were rookies. That team went on to make the Eastern Conference semifinals.
There have been plenty of teams that lost seven games — or more — in a row and made the playoffs. But none of those has gone on to win a playoff series since Portland in 2016. And no team has ever lost seven consecutive games in what became a championship season four eventual champions lost six in a row on their way to the title, most recently when Dallas topped Miami in 2011.
“We have to get over this hurdle," Spoelstra said, “one way or another.” |
