An 83 point performance that put Adebayo in the record books also happened to coincide with a 7 game win streak that\u2019s kept them right in the thick of things out East as the season winds down. Since Adebayo\u2019s historic night though they\u2019ve gone a paltry 1-4, including two losses to two teams that they\u2019re fighting for positioning with in the standings. Currently the 9th seed with 11 games left in the regular season, the Heat have just 1 less win than the current 5th seed Toronto Raptors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Meanwhile for the Spurs, the possibility of 60 wins remains alive and well. Currently holding a 7 game lead over the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2nd seed and still just 3 games back of the Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio might just be locked into that 2nd spot. Even with six of their next seven on the road, there\u2019s a good chance they could wrap that race up very soon. Once that happens, the focus can be entirely on health and fine-tuning for the franchise\u2019s first postseason run in a very long time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">San Antonio Spurs (53-18) vs Miami Heat (38-33)<br \/>March 23 2026 | 6:00 PM CT<br \/>Watch: Peacock, FDSS | Listen: WOAI (1200 AM)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Spurs Injuries: Stephon Castle, hip (day to day), Devin Vassell, hamstring (day to day), David Jones-Garcia, OUT<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Heat Injuries: Andrew Wiggins, toe (day to day), Jaime Jaquez Jr, hip (day to day), Norman Powell, calf (day to day)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If you\u2019d like to, you may follow along with the game on our Twitter profile (<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/poundingtherock\" rel=\"nofollow\">@poundingtherock<\/a>) or visit our Game Thread!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Less than 2 weeks ago, Bam Adebayo and the Miami Heat were the talk of the NBA.
