ORLANDO – Observations and other notes of interest from Saturday night’s 121-114 loss to the Orlando Magic: – This was no time for easing off the gas. – Not when a two-game losing streak could have turned into three. – Not with Jimmy Butler back in Miami with a stomach illness. – But, most importantly, not after what happened Monday night in Detroit. – That’s when the Pistons opened without Tobias Harris and Jaden Ivey and then lost Isaiah Stewart early. – And still found a way to beat the Heat in overtime. – Even with Butler going for a triple-double. – This time, the opposition was a Magic team lacking Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs, Orlando’s three best players, also without Garry Harris and then losing Moe Wagner early, followed by a second-period ejection of starting power forward Wendell Carter Jr. – What you do, what you need to do in that situation, is stomp early, try to settle it early. – As so many opponents did last season, when the Heat struggled through their injury-plagued season. – Which the Heat tried. – So mission accomplished? – Not exactly, with closing still mattering. – So, no, this did not erase the bitter taste of Monday night. – Just added. –  Good teams seize such moments. – Then there are the Heat. – Which tells you plenty. – With Butler sidelined by the illness that had him leaving the game for good in Friday night’s first quarter against the Thunder, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra turned to a dramatically different opening lineup. – This time the Heat opened with Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson .

ORLANDO — Just when you thought any worse wasn’t possible after blowing an eight-point overtime lead in Detroit at the start of the week, it got worse for the Miami Heat at the end of the week. Against a severely depleted Orlando Magic roster, the absence of Jimmy Butler hardly appeared to register through the first three quarters for Erik Spoelstra’s team, with the Heat racing to a 25-point lead. And then, a collapse of epic proportions, and now, a three-game losing streak following Saturday night’s 121-114 loss at Kia Center. “These are tough lessons that we all have to learn,” Spoelstra said.
