Dave Roberts will no doubt take the heat, but more likely the Dodgers’ analytic braintrust is responsible for the horrible decision-making with their pitching staff. What a freaking disaster! You wonder if there will be long-term repercussions for Buehler and Urias. – 12:03 AM

The Heat’s offense, playing without Kyle Lowry, just could never get on track for a sustained stretch against the Pacers. The result was an overtime loss.

Five Degrees of Heat from Saturday night’s 102-91 OT loss in Indiana: sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h…
1. Out of gas at closing time.
2. No backup plan at the point.
3. Herro again the ultimate bucket in reserve.
4. Adebayo strong early.
5. Defensive brilliance not enough. – 10:33 PM

Might not have worked but worth a try – 10:07 PM

Pacers having success around the basket, which is uncharacteristic for the Heat’s defense. Indiana already with 22 paint points on 11-of-15 shooting.

No surprise: without Lowry playing, the non-Butler and Bam lineups are atrocious
Much like last year
Herro needs one of those three next to him to truly thrive in his role
But it’s clear Indiana is forcing guys like him to work it through the role players on offense – 7:38 PM

– Pin the tail on the kicker
– Use a bankruptcy case to get subpoena power (Miami home games only)
