Lakers and Heat!

March 10, 2011- In the prime time game on Thursday which brought the Lakers to Miami in a battle of two heavily studded teams, the Heat won 94-88. The heat are 2-0 against the Lakers this season, and this game snapped the Lakers 8 game winning streak while helping Miami's 5 game losing streak. 

After much speculation of Chris Bosh's numbers with Miami this season, he had stated earlier in the week he wanted the ball more. He got the ball more, and put up 24 points in the game. Kobe added 24 as well, where Pau added 20 points. It was a very close game and the Lakers played real well in the first half I thought. But toward the end of the third quarter, they started to get real sloppy. It's like they had no energy left and they were looking exhausted and out of the game. This led to key turnovers and bad possessions which helped the Heat take the lead and win the game. 

This game upset me a little bit because the Lakers were on such a great winning streak! Plus, that win just gives the Heat confidence heading toward the end of the season. Either way, I would like to see the Lakers play with intensity the entire game this year! Maybe they're just tired after playing such a long stretch of games lately. Next game is vs. Dallas.
