For a long time in this top game everything pointed to a confident Miami victory. In the last quarter, however, the Pelicans turned up the heat and made things exciting – but too late.
Miami Heat only managed a narrow 101:99 triumph in the Preason duel against the New Orleans Pelicans despite a temporary 17-point lead. In the last meeting, Erik Spoelstra‘s team had to admit defeat after eight wins in a row.
This time, top scorer duo Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro led the franchise back to success with twelve points each. On the Pelicans side, Zion Williamson even scored 13 points.
