The “Lights” gritted their teeth and are trying with all their might to rectify the situation. The team strives to fight for leadership positions and, in principle, there is everything for this, because the composition is decent enough, plus the head coach has enough experience. Miami secured two victories in a row, as they fought the Knicks (98-88) and then dealt with Indiana (92-87). As you can see, Eric Spoelstra’s wards act carefully and carefully, since the club is unlikely to lose points now, especially since the competition is transcendental. The Heat are close to beating New York in the standings, though first they have to show their class in the game against Golden State. The fact that the fight will take place at home is encouraging.
Calgary have recently stopped consistently earning points. The team had an away streak, in which they managed to prevail in only one match over Toronto (4: 3), and then thanks to failures in the opponent’s defense. In a duel with Maple Leafs, Flames lost, as expected (0: 2). The team also suffered two defeats from Ottawa (1: 2 and 1: 3). In their native walls the Flames had to play three matches with Winnipeg and only in one of them they managed to prevail with a score of 4:2. In the rest of the meetings, the team could not show their best side, losing to the Jets (2:3 and 1:5).
