Show Notes
The Miami Heat, led by Coach Erik Spoelstra, have been topping the NBA in zone defense possessions for three seasons, with a season-high forty-six possessions in their recent win over the Houston Rockets. Despite Spoelstras mixed feelings about the energy demands and potential lack of personal accountability, the zone defense has proven effective, allowing only point six five points per possession against the Rockets. The Heats top weapon remains man-to-man defense, and guard Davion Mitchell praises the zone as a smart tweak against scorers. Mitchell, who injured his left shoulder in the Rockets game, is day-to-day ahead of Tuesdays matchup with the Nets. With six weeks left in the regular season, the Heat aim to crack the Easts top six and avoid the play-in tournament.
