They were certainly allowed to ramp up all of their physicality against a more finesse team like the hawks without ever getting into foul trouble.
hell, Morris had the balls to even hold Hunter when he wasn’t even in the game.
One thing they did well was press us… we couldn’t seem to figure it out or make them pay for it.
Will the heat be able to be as physical without the foul calls next series?
You also go down 30-10 when a terrible 3 point shooting team goes 2-2 on their first threes of the game. Add that in with the easy dunks and layups (bad D by us) and allowing them to play so “handsy” on defense… game over in Q1.
i don’t think it cost us the game, but a game where Jollins gets to play because he isn’t I. Bogus foul trouble… things like the “alley oop” goaltend that wasn’t called, among other things, make you scratch your head.
