General Daily Insight for October 31, 2024 We’re channeling intensity into creativity. First, the emotional Moon grumbles at driven Mars, risking irritation or stress, but also sparking motivation.

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 116-107 loss to the New York Knicks: – The NBA schedule can tease. – Including the victories over the Hornets and Pistons that delivered the Heat to Wednesday night’s game at 2-1. – Then came the challenge of something real, in the Knicks. – Just like the challenge in the opener against the Magic. – Loss. – Loss. – Yes, a move above over .500 seems in the cards against the how-low-can-we-go tanking Wizards in Mexico City. – But that hardly would be a statement. – What follows, however, could be telling. – Starting with the next game at Kaseya Center, on Monday against the Kings. – And then games on a six-game trip against the Suns, Nuggets, Timberwolves and Pacers twice. – Those are the type of games where statements can be made. – If the Heat are capable. – Beat up on the bad teams and you wind up in the play-in, as the Heat have the past two seasons. – Quality wins are the separator. – With that search ongoing. – The Heat remained for the fourth time in as many games with an opening lineup of Bam Adebayo, Nikola Jovic, Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier. – Out for the Heat were Josh Richardson (calf strain), Kevin Love (personal reasons) and Josh Christopher (G League). – In addition, to save days against his two-way contract, Keshad Johnson was inactive. – That left the Heat with 13 available players. – Jaime Jaquez Jr.

MIAMI — This wasn’t for a lack of trying by Tyler Herro. For extended stretches Wednesday night, the sixth-year guard was the Miami Heat’s offense. This was about another former Kentucky Wildcat putting his team over the top — and it wasn’t Herro teammate Bam Adebayo. With Karl-Anthony Towns showing the next level he is capable of lifting his new team, the New York Knicks overcame Herro’s 34 points behind Towns’ 44 to push past the Heat 116-107 at Kaseya Center. “He’s a handful,” Herro said of Towns.
