MIAMI—Miami Heat’s dismal season start seems incredibly forgotten as they extend the NBA’s longest winning streak to seven games after beating the Brooklyn Nets 122-115. Jimmy Butler scored 18 of his 36 points in the third quarter, and the Heat haven’t lost a close game in seven games after starting 1-4. Duncan Robinson contributed 26 points, while Bam Adebayo added 20. It’s the first 7-game winning streak for the Heat since December 2017. Miami also beat Brooklyn after losing in early November. It was part of a 9-game, 18-day stretch where they played in eight different arenas. The only one they’ll visit twice in that span is the United Center in Chicago after opening a two-game set against the Bulls on Saturday night to kickstart a five-game trip. The win was crucial for Heat’s morale and confidence.
