Winderman’s view: Heat can’t keep it clean and blew it in loss to Cavs

Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 111-99 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers: — You can survive absences of Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, even Haywood Highsmith when you are at your sharpest. — The Heat weren’t at their sharpest Friday night. — Not with 16 turnovers through the first three periods. — Yes, there will be nights when Jimmy Butler is off. — When Duncan Robinson can’t make a shot. — When the defense lapses. — But when you keep it clean, you have a chance in those circumstances. — The Heat didn’t keep it clean. — They worked blew. — And paid with their third loss in their last four home games. — With Adebayo and Highsmith again out (and Herro still out), the Heat again opened with Orlando Robinson, Caleb Martin,Butler, Duncan Robinson and Kyle Lowry. — The Heat had entered with 14 lineups in their first 21 games. — No change this time. — Maybe next time. — Back available for the Heat was guard RJ Hampton, after being sidelined with knee pain, but he was inactive. — Coach Erik Spoelstra said the plan eventually is G League game minutes. — “He’s going to stay here for a little bit more, and then we’d like to get him going to Sioux Falls and play in some games and then we’ll take it from there,” Spoelstra said.
