The Heat were also in action on Wednesday, but couldn’t gain any steam offensively in Los Angeles as they became the 10th straight victim to the Clippers, by a 104-90 margin.
Miami Heat:
The Heat have now equaled their longest skid of the season as they’ve dropped 3 in a row after falling in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
With the loss, Miami has now put themselves a game behind Atlanta for the Southeast Division lead, after holding first place for essentially the entire season.

Miami has been extremely sloppy during their losing streak and that really came about on Wednesday as they turned the ball over a season high 24 times. The Heat have had a problem taking care of the ball lately and it has led to some easy baskets for the opposition.
Dwayne Wade had 7 of those 24 turnovers, which put a dent in what was a good game for him. Wade finished with 16 points and had 8 assists to go along.
Back up G Gerald Green played one of his best games of the season as he finished with 19 points. Expect him to get some more minutes here on Friday.
Denver
Things haven’t been easy for the Nuggets this season by any means, but they can at least claim one thing, they’ve played the Warriors tough.
They took them to overtime inside Oracle Arena, but let the game slip away from them. On Wednesday, there was no slipping. Denver bounced back and forth with the Warriors all night long, but eventually pulled out a 112-110 win.
While they still allowed 110 points, it was their defense that really stepped up down the stretch of the game. They got some crucial stops and forced Curry and company into some tough shots late in the 4th quarter.
The 3rd quarter proved to be the turning point after the Warriors led by 4. Denver finished the last 5 plus minutes on a 19-5 run and took a 10 point lead into the 4th. Gallinari was the difference maker offensively as he put in 28 points.
The Nuggets win on Wednesday was just their 7th in 18 tries at home this season.
