So it doesn&#8217;t matter who plays, people are going to go in there, give everything they have, play hard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So it&#8217;s fun, it&#8217;s fun to be a part of a group like that. I think we have something special, but we haven&#8217;t really done anything, it&#8217;s just preseason and the season hasn&#8217;t even started. But we have a great group.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/a\/status\/2110566968558526649\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">  Giannis, Heat peaking at the best possible time ahead of new NBA season <\/p>\n<p>By securing the home win against the Brooklyn Nets, the Miami Heat improved and are now holding a strong 3-1 record in their 2026 preseason slate.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Bam Adebayo resting, the Heat nailed the easy win behind Giannis Antetokounmpo&#8217;s 20 points, 15 rebounds, and nine assists in just 24 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Eight other Heat players tallied double digits in points, headlined by Andrew Wiggins&#8217; 19 points and Tim Hardaway recording 14.<\/p>\n<p>Miami overwhelmed Brooklyn on the defensive end as well, as the Nets shot just 43.8% from the field.<\/p>\n<p>Giannis <a href=\"https:\/\/basketnews.com\/news-257000-giannis-admits-still-not-fully-comfortable-with-miami-heat-after-first-game.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">admitted last week that it would still take time<\/a> for him and the Heat to adjust to one another.
