Five Degrees of Heat from Friday’s 124-119 loss in Denver: sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h…
1. Nuggets overwhelming at closing time.
2. Lots of moving pieces in this back-to-back.
3. Another lineup switch.
4. Duncan Robinson reaches 3-point record.
5. Another Orlando Robinson moment. – 12:34 AM

Sixers lose to New Orleans, 127-116. They are 20-14.
Bit of reality check this week. Lose a bad one in Washington, then get shredded defensively by a good Pelicans team. Embiid with a great first three quarters, but no answers at all for Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum. – 11:03 PM
