And getting roughed up in Wednesday\u2019s loss at Memphis was a sneak peak at the physicality the Nets can expect versus the Heat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, we realize how important each game is. And we will try to bring our best effort from the start,\u201d Kevin Durant said. \u201cI think [Wednesday] was just a slow start. They were able to get up, but I think our third quarter we played basketball. But then they got hot in the fourth there making 3s. They played great. \u2026 We know we have to bring it from start to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Against Miami they\u2019ll have little choice. The Heat figure to be in a feisty mood, having dropped consecutive games in very uncharacteristic fashion that included a sideline altercation in their loss Wednesday to Golden State.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Coach Erik Spoelstra had to be separated from Jimmy Butler on the sideline after a dustup, with Udonis Haslem even telling the star wing, \u201cI\u2019ll beat your a-s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After getting beaten 33-18 in second-chance points and outscored 27-7 off turnovers by the Grizzlies, the Nets are bracing for a testy test Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we were in foul trouble early and it took away some of our aggressiveness on the defensive side of the ball. We just have to be solid,\u201d Durant said. \u201cI think we are going in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Brooklyn\u2019s bench has to be more solid. After Durant and Kyrie Irving teamed up for a staggering 78 points and 16 assists in Memphis, the rest of the lineup combined for just 42 points and two dimes.<\/p>\n<p>The reserves were particularly toothless, with just 11 points on 2-for-11 shooting.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Blake Griffin was a DNP-Coach\u2019s Decision in Memphis after coming off a strong game. Nic Claxton and Andre Drummond \u2014 returning after missing the prior game due to the aftereffects of a COVID-19 booster shot \u2014 got all the minutes at center with LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) still sidelined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought Blake played great last game,\u201d coach Steve Nash said. \u201cOver the course of the season or this stretch, I think Andre and Nic are playing very well over the course of these games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think [Aldridge] has had a terrific season as well, so it\u2019s been tough for Blake, and you can\u2019t play three, four, centers all the time, so I <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciate him staying ready and being able to give us a big lift in that game. It\u2019s not easy to perform in those conditions it\u2019s also not easy mentally to be in that position.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Nash said he\u2019s optimistic Goran Dragic and Seth Curry, who both missed the loss in Memphis, can suit up Saturday with an extra day\u2019s rest. Curry, out with an ankle injury, is averaging 15.5 points since arriving.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
