That’s an incredible read from Herro – 8:15 PM

Heat’s first three baskets are threes: Herro, Robinson, Tucker. – 8:14 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
With his first 3-pointer, Duncan Robinson extended his franchise record to 62 consecutive games with at least one conversion. – 8:13 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
The Thunder, which enters with the NBA’s third-worst offense, is shooting a league-worst 56.3 percent from within the restricted area this season. That’s not a good number. – 8:12 PM

Back on the Thunder radio broadcast tonight with Gideon Hamilton filling in for the great Matt Pinto. Seems like a great night to gather your entire family around the radio and listen to a basketball game. – 8:05 PM

Darius Bazley (plantar fasciitis) is listed in the starting lineup. Looks like he’ll play. – 7:47 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
When Miami faced the Thunder in OKC last season, it was the last game of the road trip after previously losing to the Jazz, Clippers, and Warriors to begin the trip
All 3 tough losses at the end
Miami was also without Goran Dragic and Tyler Herro against OKC
Sounds familiar – 7:45 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
I’ll give the OKC Thunder a little more credit. They aren’t nearly as bad as this Pistons team. Doesn’t excuse a blown 18 point lead though.
Meanwhile the Kings are up 42-16 in Detroit… – 7:42 PM

Heat starting Dedmon in place of Adebayo and Herro in place of Butler. Lowry, Robinson, Tucker round out the first five. Figure on minutes for Omer Yurtseven, who played for Thunder’s G League team last season. – 7:31 PM

Spo on Adebayo’s status (knee): “Our schedule has been pretty intensive and he hasn’t gotten chance to get better, but he hasn’t gotten worse. We’ll continue to treat him day to day.” – 6:38 PM

Wes Unseld Jr. said all indications are that Bradley Beal will rejoin the team when it goes on the road Wednesday and Thursday for a back-to-back in Charlotte and Miami, respectively. – 5:41 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
To be fair:
Blake James took the Miami AD job when the school was knee-deep in the Shapiro/NCAA nonsense and stuck it out after finding out how bad it really was. Got a slew of facilities built or improved. Academic numbers elite.
But football didn’t win. And here we are. – 5:40 PM

Vit Krejci is a fan of OKC, the place.
“Oklahoma [City] is a super city. I would not be very happy in New York or Los Angeles. There’s lots of great restaurants and nice places. Wehave lots of great fans.”
Vit says he already feels more at home in OKC than he did in Spain. – 4:57 PM

Derrick Favors (rest) is out tonight. Darius Bazley (right foot plantar fasciitis) is questionable. – 4:45 PM

Timberwolves fined $250,000 for hosting a week-long team meetup at Alex Rodriguez’s Miami house.

Per NBA: Timberwolves fined $250,000 for violating league rules that prohibit teams from arranging or paying for offseason practice or group workout sessions outside team’s home market. Violations occurred in connection with Timberwolves’ player activities in Miami in early Sept. – 4:07 PM

One more thing here and we’ll keep it moving.
Seriously, have you ever had a bad sinus infection? It’s rough.
Nick Ford apparently played Saturday with a bad sinus infection, on medication, in 85-degree heat, on a day Utah’s offense ran 74 plays. – 4:00 PM

I imagine the $250K fine given to the Timberwolves for off-season workout in Miami could be handed out to other teams as well, but maybe they’re more … creative … in how they handle them. Similar to the Joe Smith saga years ago. Just a guess. – 3:57 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
As illustrated by the size of this fine, the NBA takes this rule seriously, making it more bizarre that the Wolves not only put this event together but were so openly discussing the fact that they made this trip to Miami.

The Timberwolves were just fined $250,000 for violating the league’s offseason practice rules with sessions at new minority owner Alex Rodriguez’s house in Miami in September.

Josh Giddey is one of only 16 players since 2001 to average 9+ points, 6+ Rebounds, and 6 + assists through the first ten games of their rookie season and first to do it since Trae Young in 2018. – 3:39 PM
