What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Heat up 20 with 3:43 to go
I’m still unsure if this will be a 3 point game with 20 seconds left – 9:16 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
“Let’s go Heat” chants getting loud in here as Miami takes a 20-point lead into garbage time. – 9:14 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
“Let’s Go Heat” chants in Orlando. – 9:13 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Tyler Herro: 28, 8 and 7 so far, 4-5 on 3’s, 10-17 from the field. Not bad for the guy who is already ineligible for NBA end-of-year awards this season. – 9:09 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Heat are closing out the fourth quarter against a division leader with a lineup of Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Josh Richardson, Haywood Highsmith and Thomas Bryant. Oh what a night. – 9:08 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Tyler Herro is good at basketball
Man who knew – 9:08 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Cole Anthony just threw a pass into the side of the backboard and it ricocheted out of bounds. This sums up the night to this point for the Magic, who trail the Heaters 98-80 with 6:40 left. – 9:06 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
This Heat team has ELITE shot fake guys man
Bam sells one now
The thing I notice about his pump-fakes is he sells with his eyes
Gets them off their feet in that mid-range constantly – 8:55 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
New Heat plan: Lead by so much after three quarters that you can get out-scored by 10 in the fourth quarter and still win the game. – 8:55 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Typically, the question here is how long the Heat can afford to rest Butler. Considering their recent fourth quarters, how long can they afford to sit Herro? – 8:51 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
End of third quarter: Heat 89, Magic 72. Tyler Herro with 25 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Heat outscoring the Magic 36-15 on threes. – 8:50 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Heat go up 22 in third period, lead Magic 89-72 going into fourth. Herro with 25 points. – 8:50 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Tyler Herro triple-double watch. Up to 25 points, eight rebounds, six assists. – 8:47 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Orlando is challenging this foul against Cole Anthony and seems likely to win, looked like a totally clean strip. – 8:44 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
I mean the script for the Heat to succeed is sitting right in front of us tonight
Just shoot 63% from three on high attempts – 8:40 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Wendell Carter, Jr. shaking off flecks of rust in his return tonight. Got a solid 8-minute run to start 3rd but still scoreless; Magic trial by 19. – 8:39 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
The 32 points in the last 6:40 of the 2nd qtr tonight matches the most by the Heat over the final 6:40 of any quarter in the play-by-play era (since 1996-97).
Also the second time where the Heat didn’t miss a shot in the final 6:40 of a 2Q. The other was in April 2006. – 8:33 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Magic 3 of 20 on 3s. That helps. – 8:32 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Magic shooting 3 of 20 on threes. Heat ahead by 22. – 8:32 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Last 6:40 of the half … the Heat went 12 for 12 from the field, 5 for 5 on 3’s, 3 for 3 from the line.
32 points. In 6-1/2 minutes. – 8:25 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Tyler Herro just went 7 for 11 and 3 for 4 from three for 19 points in that first half
Nothing was forced
Nothing looked to slow him down
Dude is just such a bucket – 8:22 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
Heat score 68 points in the first half against a big Magic defense that ranks 3rd in DRTG.
On Monday, the Heat scored 66 points in the first half against a big Timberwolves defense that ranks 1st in DRTG. They scored just 42 points in that 2H.
Obviously don’t want a repeat. – 8:14 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
The 4th quarter watching the Heat light it up right now pic.twitter.com/dr7BlU9T2b8:14 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
The Heat didn’t miss a shot over the final 6 1/2 minutes of the second quarter. 12/12. – 8:12 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Tonight’s 18-point halftime lead — 68-50 — is Miami’s second-largest at Orlando ever.
Heat led 56-31 at the half on Nov. 26, 1997. Went on to win 84-60. Little different game then. – 8:12 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
A 43-point second quarter for the Heat. They are 11 for 18 on 3s as a team.
– Herro 3/4
– Highsmith 4/7
– Richardson 2/3
– Duncan 1/1
– Caleb 1/1 – 8:11 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Are you ready for this stat?
The Miami Heat just hit 12 shots in a row to finish the second quarter
Did not miss a shot in final 6:30 – 8:11 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Halftime: Miami 68, Orlando 50
Heat go on a 27-10 run to end the half, and didn’t miss a shot over the final 6-plus minutes of the second quarter.
Was good to see Jonathan Isaac score seven straight points for Orlando late in the second, hitting a three and getting to the rim. – 8:11 PM
Dan Savage @Dan_Savage
Halftime: Heat 68, Magic 50
Cole Anthony leads Orlando with 11 pts
ORL: 3-for-15 (20%) from 3
MIA: 11-for-18 (61.1%) from 3 – 8:10 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Halftime: Miami 68, Orlando 50. Miami 🔥🔥11-of-18 from 3🔥🔥, Magic just 3-of-15. MOML y’all. – 8:10 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Halftime: Heat 68, Magic 50. With the game tied at 38, Heat closed the first half on a 30-12 run to take an 18-point lead into halftime. Heat shooting 11 of 18 on threes and Tyler Herro has 19 points. – 8:10 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Heat 11 of 18 on 3s, lead Magic 68-50 at half. Herro with 19 in first half. Heat had led ‘Wolves by 17 in first half Monday. – 8:09 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Heat outscoring the Magic 30-6 from three-point range and lead by 16. – 8:08 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Heat 10 of 17 on 3s. Sustainable? – 8:08 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Tyler Herro is back
Energy pull-up 3’s are back – 8:07 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Haywood Highsmith with four 3s in one quarter, and Duncan Robinson with multiple 2s. What on earth is happening right now. – 8:07 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Haywood Highsmith is hooping right now
Defensive stops, running the floor, 3 after 3
Nasty work – 8:07 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
And just like that, Butler-less Heat up 58-40. – 8:07 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
The Heat have about 400 3’s tonight and lead 58-40. – 8:07 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
A couple of strong defensive possessions in a row for Thomas Bryant. – 8:07 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
Tyler Herro has breathed life into Miami’s offense. He’s got 14 points and three assists. Some important rebounds and deflections in this second quarter stint. – 8:04 PM
Eric Pincus @EricPincus
Taking in Miami Heat at Orlando Magic at the newly named Kia Center. I’m in town for the G League Showcase (one of my favorite events of the year) – 8:03 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Tyler Herro up to 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting from the field. Magic shooting 10 of 16 at the rim, but 1 of 10 on threes.
Heat ahead 49-40. – 8:03 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Oh that’s so tough from Tyler Herro
So offensively smooth, but so fun when he’s physical off the dribble
Gives a bump and spins into the jumper – 8:03 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Two-point Duncan Robinson really is a thing to behold. – 8:02 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Magic up to eight turnovers. Heat only with two. – 8:01 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
This is a thing the Magic do — have a player draw the opponent’s logo. It’s really kind of funny. pic.twitter.com/7zDNFWGLvO7:59 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Duncan Robinson still yet to take a shot tonight
He’s definitely seeing a lot of attention, but feels like they need a few more on-more reps to run for him
Especially in these lineups – 7:56 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Magic approach has been no 3-point attempts for Duncan Robinson and as many as Haywood Highsmith wants. – 7:54 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Big call as Bam hit with his 3rd on Franz Wagner’s up and under. Bam protests but Heat won’t challenge. Bryant in, presumably for last 7:19 of this first half. – 7:53 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Bam Adebayo called for his third foul with 7:19 left in the first half. Thomas Bryant enters. – 7:52 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
3 straight Heat possessions concluded with a Haywood Highsmith 3 point attempt
2 for 3 in that sequence
Need a push like that tonight from deep – 7:47 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
Highsmith took three 3s in a row. Made two of them. But I bet the Magic will live with those shots. – 7:47 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
The Heat’s lack of tall again showing itself. – 7:44 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
A lot of 2-3 zone for the Heat early in this one. – 7:42 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Last time the Magic and Heat played without Udonis Haslem on the Miami roster: March 19, 2003.
Caron Butler led the Heat that night with 20. Tracy McGrady led everybody with 36. Dick Bavetta reffed. Nikola Jovic hadn’t been born yet. – 7:41 PM
Dan Savage @Dan_Savage

End 1Q: Heat lead the Magic, 25-24
– Tyler Herro with 10 points and 3 assists
– Heat 3 for 6 on 3s. Magic 1 for 6.
– Spo staggering Herro and Bam with Jimmy out. – 7:40 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Heat somehow never trailed and lead by 1 after the first quarter
Off-ball defense was atrocious
But offensive flow has been good with Herro setting the tone – 7:39 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Heat 25, Magic 24 after one. No Butler, Love for Heat. Herro with 10 points. – 7:39 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Are….is the Cleveland crowd booing Olynyk because of the Kevin love incident like 25 years ago? – 7:39 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
After 1: Heat 25, Magic 24
Tyler Herro has 10 points and 3 assists for the Heat, who don’t have Jimmy Butler tonight.

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
This has been an awful off-ball defensive game for the Heat so far
If they were even slightly more active in that area they’d have a good lead – 7:30 PM
Bob Finnan @BobCavsinsider
Fans still booing Kelly Olynyk for his involvement with Kevin Love in the playoffs a couple years ago. He almost pulled his arm out of its socket. – 7:28 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Tyler Herro with a quick 10 for the Heat. – 7:27 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Tyler Herro with 10 of the Heat’s first 20 points. – 7:27 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
With Kevin Love out, Thomas Bryant in the game as the backup center. – 7:25 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
A Thomas Bryant night for the Heat. – 7:25 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Magic already 3 of 5 from within the restricted area in the first six minutes, with the help of some timely off-ball cuts.
Now is a good time to point out that no team has taken more shots from within the restricted area than the Magic this season. – 7:23 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
The Heat have two of the most unstoppable shots in the sport:
The Caleb Martin foot on the line jumper and the Jaime Jaquez fastbreak pumpfake and layup – 7:21 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
If this Orlando PA announcer calls Miami’s rookie “ha-KWEZ” one more time I may pull a Van Gogh. – 7:20 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
This Jaime Jaquez recovery block >>>
pic.twitter.com/yJPdqxPwcJ7:19 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Wow that’s an exceptional recovery by Jaime to get that block at the rim
Tyler Herro wasting no time
Tough layup early, now a pull-up 3 – 7:16 PM
Dan Savage @Dan_Savage
Didn’t take long for Kyle Lowry to continue to add to the list. – 7:14 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
A double foul 15 seconds into Magic-Heat. I give up. – 7:13 PM

It’s the next day so let’s get rational.
Celtics loss was fine. They mostly got good shots on the road that normally go in. It’s cool.
Haven’t really had a “bad” loss this year. 3 of 6 losses in OT. 2 of other 3 came down to wire. Other was against a good Magic team. – 4:00 PM

Jalen Suggs gives Orlando the edge it needs on a nightly basis. There’s a degree of sacrifice here that not every 22-year-old striving to earn a massive second contract would embrace.
