Miami Heat Hope to End 4-Game Losing Streak

The Miami Heat are off to a cold start to the 2023-24 season after Wednesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets brought their record to 1-4.

The Heat are on a 4-game losing streak after the Nets managed to come back from a 15-point shortage in the second half. This is their worst start to a season since 2007, when they lost their first five games.

Miami was up by 16 points in the first half before the Nets were able to outscore them. Brooklyn guard Armoni Brooks played for 16 minutes. During this, the Nets outscored Miami 55-25 and Brooks dropped 17 points.

Heat Vs. Wizards

Miami’s next opponent, the Washington Wizards, are not looking much better. The Wizards are 1-3 after a loss to the 3-2 Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday.  Washington beat the Heat 114-108 in their last matchup in April.
