Observations and other notes of interest from Monday night’s 106-89 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers: – Interesting. – Perhaps just the right mix of shooting and defense. – So Duncan Robinson into the starting lineup alongside Tyler Herro. – And then Jimmy Butler, Haywood Highsmith and Bam Adebayo for the defense. – Granted, Erik Spoelstra had the freedom for the move with Terry Rozier sidelined with a foot issue. – But it also meant removing Kevin Love from the first five. – Granted, the starting lineup is only part of the process. – And this one has an undersized team even more undersized. – But the Heat, as configured, are a team designed to win in the margins. – With defense. – And shooting. – So two-fifths shooting and three-fifths defense. – Spoelstra just might have hit on the right cocktail. – Eventually needing a buy-in from Rozier when Rozier is able to return. – From the outset, the goal was lineup stability. – Therefore the long look at Nikola Jovic over the season’s first eight games. – With mixed results. – Then Rozier’s balky right foot opened the door for something different. – And potentially better. – Enduring? – Wait and see. – With the Heat now idle until Sunday’s visit by the Mavericks. – Going small Monday night was an option with the 76ers opening with former Heat forward Caleb Martin at power forward. – That shifted Love to the reserve rotation. – Love had started each of his previous four appearances. – Love and Pelle Larsson played as the Heat’s first two reserves. – Larsson, who had fallen out of the rotation, got the call with Jaime Jaquez Jr.
