Seattle Go Down Fighting, Heat Too Much

This game was a match of the year contender, and it's only the 4th match into the season. Miami Heat starting out with a mindset to attack, Dwyane Wade was trying every trick, every spin-move he knew, but Seattle SuperSonics were very resillient. At the end of the 3rd quarter, the scores were tied at 68-68, and I don't know what Ben Evans said to his team, but it worked. In the 4th quarter Miami Heat scored 40 points, and played a solid defence, letting Seattle get just 22 points. Dwyane Wade got his second triple-double of the season, and Shaquille O'Neal got an impressive score once again, getting 26 points. For Seattle, Rashard Lewis, Rodney Rogers and Damian Wilkins were key to their defensive sucess, grabbing 23 defensive rebounds between them, yet no offensive rebounds. Ben Evans was seen in a number of clips looking at Rashard Lewis and talking to his assistant, and we all know Miami Heat are looking for a new small forward, it's just a matter of how much they are willing to give up in exchange.
