This is a game where it’s a shame not to have Ayton. Miami’s bigs aren’t the type that could’ve effectively contained him. Bam is growing into a good center, but not the type that bother Ayton. And their other bigs are olnyk, James Johnson, and Myers Leonard. Ayton should crush those guys.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Tyler Johnson, who went from undrafted rookie to rotation player with Miami before getting traded to #Suns last February: "I love Tyler Johnson. He's one of my favorite stories ... His story is a story I’ll be telling to my locker rooms for years."

The Suns are currently -1 in Vegas against the Heat. If they remain favored tonight, it'll be the first time they have been favored 3 games in a row since the end of the 2015-16 season.

They were favored 11 total times the past two seasons.

That would be expectations changing.

Spoelstra says Winslow out. Waiters questionable.

I just saw the movie "Inside Game" about NBA referee Tim Donaghy and the Gambino Crime family
making money from Donaghy's insider information.

The movie was not good enough to even be called a "B" movie, but I watched it to learn how they
did what they did.

Donaghy maintained to the end that he never made a wrong call for profit, but the few basketball
scenes showed how the crowd reacted after a his calls. He said that he was forced to participate
fearing harm to his family, but the final credits said that was a lie.

I waited to see which of them would run the others under the bus, if any, in court. He and his two
cronies spent just 18 months in prison. Donaghy had already been terminated by the NBA.

As I walked to my car, I spit on the ground in disgust. Next movie I'll be seeing is "Ford v Ferrari",
about how how Shelby took on the European racing manufacturers in a souped up Mustang.
Having owned two Mustangs, I won't be spitting on the ground then.

Baynes scores the Suns first points with a 3 pointer.

Heat lead 4-3.

I think that should be a flagrant foul on Heat against Oubre... it's a common foul instead.

Suns down 10 early 16-6. Heat are shooting well from the field.

Suns go on a run to cut Heat lead to 22-15.

Monty is fired up after Oubre blocks Leonard from behind, which led to a transition bucket by Booker. #Suns cut Miami's lead to 22-15 with 4:59 left in the first.

Jimmy Butler is carrying Heat with 16 points.

Great to see Jevon Carter get a basket.

End of 1st quarter:

Heat 31 - Suns 30

At times it looked like the Heat were running a weave almost like a hockey team.
