San Antonio Spurs vs Miami Heat preview
The Miami Heat made several changes during the offseason, with the addition of Norman Powell being the most notable. So far, these changes haven’t translated into success.
Their preseason started on Oct. 4 in Puerto Rico, where they faced the Orlando Magic. Despite strong performances from Andrew Wiggins and Nikola Jovic, the Heat came up short, losing 126-118 to their division rivals.
Two days later, Miami’s skid extended with a 103-93 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. However, Powell’s performance provided a positive takeaway for the team, as he put up 18 points on 50% shooting.
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have played only one preseason game so far. They cruised to a 119-88 win over China’s Guangzhou Loong-Lions. While Victor Wembanyama stuffed the stat sheet with nine points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks, Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson, and Luke Kornet each scored 16 points.
