An attempted fourth quarter rally and another All-Star caliber performance from Tyler Herro weren’t enough for the Miami Heat (15-14) in a 120-110 matinee loss

Just two days after Tyler Herro’s game-winning jumper lifted the Heat to a quality win over the Magic in Orlando, the Heat fell to the Atlanta Hawks 120-110 on Saturday afternoon at State Farm Arena. That game-to-game inconsistency has had the Heat hovering around .500 all season, dropping to 15-14 after Saturday’s defeat.

The cycle of mediocrity had a chance to add something of meaning Saturday at State Farm Arena. Instead, no three-game winning streak for the Miami Heat, just a 120-110 loss to the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena and a 15-14 record going into Sunday night’s game against the Houston Rockets to conclude this three-game trip.

Despite the ongoing “whispers” linking Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine to the Los Angeles Lakers for nearly a year, a potential deal between the two teams appears unlikely, NBA reporters Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times.

The game didn't go in their favor, as they lost 141-133, but star guard Zach LaVine had a monster night. LaVine finished with a game-high 37 points to go along with seven assists and five rebounds in the loss.
