The over/under makes sense too because the Heat are very good on defense and they’ll have an upper-hand at home because of that. DeMar DeRozan is their best player and is the Bulls’ leading scorer and and leads the team in assists.

[Winning four games](https://allucanheat.com/2022/12/17/miami-heat-four-game-road-streak/) straight on the road, albeit against some of the bottom-seeded teams in the league, you love to see that kind of consistency and continuity from this Miami Heat team. Wrong, as it has been for some time now for this Miami Heat team, they don’t come out of the half with enough intensity on too many occasions. The next step for them is to make sure that their big statistical showings always impact winning. However, they allowed a familiar foe to prevail, the third quarter.
