General Daily Insight for December 27, 2024 There’s a cosmic traffic jam overhead. Mercury is cruising through outgoing Sagittarius, but it’s also locking into a tough square with icy Saturn in slippery Pisces at 2:29 am EST. This may force us to spin our wheels while we wait for better conditions.

ORLANDO — Observations and other notes of interest from Thursday night’s 89-88 victory over the Orlando Magic: – Because this is who they are. – And who they have to be. – Tyler Herro with the dramatics. – And a lot of grit and grime otherwise. – Even with Jimmy Butler. – Or, in this case, without. – No, not pretty. – But needed. – Especially after a day of Butler-a-go-go. – Granted the Magic were without their two best players. – But who is going to be picky after what happened last time in this building? – No, this team does not score with grace or ease. – Especially amid a struggle like Bam Adebayo’s in this one. – But the supporting pieces supported. – With all due credit to Alec Burks, Jaime Jaquez Jr.

ORLANDO — This time the Miami Heat turned the tables after blowing a 25-point lead in this building five nights earlier. In dramatic fashion, no less. Battling back from a 17-point deficit Thursday night at Kia Center, Erik Spoelstra’s team found a way in the absence of Jimmy Butler, winning on a Tyler Herro 19-foot jumper that closed the scoring with five-tenths of a second to play. Heat 89, Magic 88 …  with the game ending with Magic guard Jalen Suggs off with a 3-pointer that ultimately was ruled after the closing buzzer. “We felt sick to our stomachs after that last game.” Herro said. It wasn’t that this was necessarily appetizing, the Heat closing with 21 turnovers and shooting just .408 from the field, but it certainly removed the bitter taste of Saturday night. “We knew we had to give them one back,” forward Jaime Jaquez said. With Herro doing just that off a Heat timeout down one with 4.9 seconds to play. Unlike previous closing situations amid this uneven 15-13 Heat ride, Herro this time did not settle for a 3-pointer, instead settling in for a jumper in a seam of the Magic defense. “It was just getting the ball to the top,” Herro said, “and letting me play.” Spoelstra said he knew he had to keep it basic against the NBA’s top-ranked defense. “We got the ball to Tyler,” Spoelstra said, “which is not a forgone conclusion the way this was going.” It was a rugged, gritty, at times painful experience, as Spoelstra had forecast when his team arrived in Orlando for Saturday’s game.
