The Miami Heat flew Delta to Sacramento on Sunday. Flying on Southwest would have been more apropos. Because Wanna Get Away assuredly had to be the theme for this six-game western swing, with Erik Spoelstra’s team coming off consecutive lopsided losses and dealing with the seven-game team suspension of Jimmy Butler for conduct detrimental to the team. As it is, there was no escape, just a 123-118 double-overtime loss to the Kings at Golden 1 Center despite holding a 17-point fourth-quarter lead. And, so, the misery continues, despite a triple-double from Jaime Jaquez Jr., a double-double from Bam Adebayo and 26 points from Tyler Herro. Unable to get the win at the end of regulation when Herro was off with a jumper, and unable to close it out in overtime, when Jaquez missed a pair of free throws, the Heat fell back to .500, at 17-17, done in by long-time nemesis DeMar DeRozan, who seized control in overtime to close out his 30-point night. And now, no rest for the weary, with the Heat off to San Francisco, for a Tuesday night game against the Golden State Warriors, 0-2 in these first two games of Butler’s suspension. Five Degrees of Heat from Monday night’s game: 1.
