5. Stop Blowing Second Half Leads
Blowing second half leads has become a staple of the Heat’s season thus far.
Whether it’s blowing a 23-point second half lead versus the league-worst 76ers, or whether it’s blowing an 11-point lead versus the mundane Pacers, Miami has proven its inability to close out games.
It’s not something that they’re proud of, as Wade bluntly stated following the Pacers loss:
“We didn’t close the quarter out good at all. That’s been our Achilles heel all season, it’s been the fourth quarter.”
If the Heat look to get back to the postseason for the seventh straight season, it will have to learn how to close out games versus inferior competition.
