Previous Matchups

Game Notes

  • With 14 players (including Bosh) having missed a combined 160 games, the Heat have used 16 different starting lineups this season. That has made building chemistry difficult for a team that is 1-3 four games into a season-long six-game trip. — Connor Letourneau, San Francisco Chronicle
  • Warriors haven’t had a blowout in 8 straight games. 9 games ago vs BKN, Looney played 17 mins, McCaw 7. Since then: 13 and 4, respectively. — @poormanscommish
  • Six months later, Spoelstra reflects on Heat pitch to Durant — Ira Winderman, Sun Sentinel
  • Video: Spoelstra says there are a lot of moving parts with the Heat offense, which has not set up as planned. Ira Winderman – @IraHeatBeat
