The renewed Brooklyn Nets tried to return to the path of victory in this game, since they arrived with 10 consecutive losing games, against an inspired Miami Heat team that needed to get the victory to continue at the top of the NBA Eastern Conference.

The Brooklyn Nets came to this game with 10 losses in a row, so they tried to stop the losing streak to rediscover the victory before the league took a break for the game of the stars; their last triumph occurred on January 19.

While the Miami Heat came into this game with four wins in a row and, at the moment, they were the leaders of the NBA Eastern Conference by one game difference between them and the Cavaliers and Bulls.

The first period was very hot, both teams took the field with the clear goal of winning, so despite several defensive errors, they managed to finish an even first quarter, with a score of 26-26.

In this first half, James Johnson stood out for the Nets, with 7 points, and Duncan Robinson for the Heat with 8 points.

The game continued in the same vein in the second quarter, both teams focused on their attack and, leaving aside the defense, so the score would be in favor of the team that missed the least shots from the field.

In this period, Gabe Vincent stood out for the Heat with 11 points of the 38 of his team and Cam Thomas with 15 points for the Nets.

It should be noted that the best scorers of each team were not yet noticed on the field, so we were watching a very collective match.

After the halftime break, we entered a third period that was decisive for the future of the game, since, thanks to an excellent defense implemented by the Heat, combined with an excellent internal attack using Adebayo as the main offensive weapon, they managed to expand the difference to 15 points.

Finally, the teams entered the fourth and final period where they would have to risk their lives to achieve victory, especially the Nets who are going through a terrible time at this point in the season.

The Nets managed to recover, winning the quarter 35-24, but it was not enough for them to win and, with a Kyle Lowry steal with 3 seconds left, he gave the Miami Heat their fifth straight win against a Brooklyn Nets in ruins and who have lost their last eleven games.
