*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Friday, March 24th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Saturday, March 25th.
Brooklyn Nets
On Thursday the Nets learned just how important every single moment in a game is. Spencer Dinwiddie had given the Nets a four-point lead with 29 seconds remaining but then a comedy of errors led to the loss.
The Cavs had cut the deficit to two on a Donovan Mitchell bucket with 11.1 seconds remaining.
All Brooklyn had to do was protect the ball and wait to get fouled. Instead, Dorian Finney-Smith turned the ball over forcing the Nets to foul Mitchell.
After Mitchell made the first free throw he seemed to intentionally miss the second presumably to take the lead in case the Nets scored on the final play.
Ignoring the fact the refs failed to call a lane violation Mitchell dove in the lane to tip in the shot but missed. Again, all the Nets had to do was grab the rebound but they failed and the ball landed in Isaac Okoro’s hands who drilled a corner 3-pointer for the win.

Brooklyn allows 112.9 points ranking 14th and possesses the fourth-best opponent field goal percentage of 46.3% but ranks 25th on perimeter defense as foes shoot 37.3% from deep.

Miami Heat
Winners of four of their last five the Heat are hitting their stride at the perfect time of the season. With the Nets losing that heartbreaker to the Cavs the Heat overtook them for the sixth seed.
A quick glance at the standings chart offers an intriguing stat, however – – Miami is the only team in the East with a negative net differential meaning they give up more points than they allow.
Dive deeper into that fact and the glaring issue is OFFENSE because Miami who ranks second in points allowed actually ranks 30th in scoring.
