“That’s as much of a must-win as we’ve had this year,” Robinson said.
“We don’t care if we won by half a point,” Adebayo added. “As long as there’s a ‘W’ at the end.”
The Heat are focused on improving their playoff positioning so, yes, every win is huge as the regular season comes to a conclusion. I
