The Heat’s new star, Hassan Whiteside, became the X factor of the game. In this campaign, he scored a career-high 23 points and recorded 16 rebounds.
And just this summer, Whiteside was busy contacting various teams to give himself a trial opportunity.
Fortunately, Spoel nodded to him.
The Clippers were one of the teams that rejected him.
“It means a lot,” Whiteside said.
“It’s crazy to be on a team called the ‘Heat’ because I’ve always had a fire inside of me and it just fits right in. I’ve always wanted the opportunity to be out there and do the best I can,
To prove many people wrong about me.”
Whiteside joined the Heat as a free agent around Thanksgiving and played 4 games in the Development League this season.
“We didn’t pay enough attention to him before, including myself and 29 other teams,” Coach Rivers said after the game.
“His performance was amazing.”
Whiteside’s performance today is unsolvable.
He can do everything from jump shots to dunks.
He made 10 of 13 shots in 28 minutes.
The only thing he didn’t try was shooting 3s.
“He put a lot of pressure on the opponent on the defensive end, and he was able to get rebounds and score for us. His performance in the paint area was perfect.” Bosh couldn’t hide his joy at the performance of new aid Whiteside.
Today Griffin scored 26 points, Paul 23 points and 9 assists. The Clippers have 2 wins and 6 losses in the last 8 games.
The Clippers took a 19-6 lead early in the game, but from there, the Heat dominated the game.
“It’s such a disappointing loss,” Griffin said.
“We got off to a good start, but then we couldn’t turn it around.”
Apparently today’s Raider Whiteside broke out halfway, catching the Clippers by surprise.
“We let him have too much room to move freely,” Griffin said. “He played too well and was very efficient. He is the surprise player who dominates this game.”
“I was on the court waiting for opportunities to create opportunities for my teammates,” Wade said.
“Our teammates made a lot of key shots, which allowed us to put more energy into the defensive end.”
In the third quarter of the game, in the Heat’s 9-0 offensive, Whiteside first hit an 11-foot hook, and then chased to block Griffin.
This performance is impeccable.
“From the moment he put on the Heat jersey, he became the one who changed the team,” Wade said, “We need this kind of energy.”
At the same time, in the game, the Heat led the opponent 46-27 in rebounds.
“It’s too deadly, and it adds more offensive ammunition for them.” Griffin commented after the game.
