Stephen Curry scored nine points tonight in the win over Miami, meaning he was one point away from something he’s never done.
He could have had 100 consecutive double-digit scoring games for the first time in his illustrious career. – 12:32 AM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat

Miami battling in this stretch as well
Herro with short term memory, Butler continues to attack, Lowry looks like playoff mode Lowry, Martin is the ultimate role player
Question is sustainability – 11:28 PM J. Kyle Mann @jkylemann
candace parker: draymond impacts the game without needing to score — by attacking in transition, he sees the floor and knows when and where to probe with his quick passing
isiah: trae young averages 30 points! that ain’t no joke! – 11:23 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
I’m interested to see how Tyler Herro responds in this second half
The length and overall switching continues to bother him, but how does he adjust?
He’s done a great job this season of flipping performances in the same game, but this is a different beast – 11:17 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

If the Nets, Bucks, Bulls and Heat end up being the East’s final four, who would you like to face who in the second round?
I think I want Bucks-Heat and Nets-Bulls. Really build up that Bucks-Heat rivalry, and DeMar/LaVine trying to match buckets with the Nets would be awesome. – 8:48 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat

“If he does decide to get into this madness, I would love to help him… whether it’s with our organization or another one.” – 8:41 PM Christian Clark @cclark_13

Steve Kerr didn’t confirm that Klay Thompson is playing Sunday but says it’s possible. – 8:27 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Steve Kerr says Klay Thompson will travel with the team on its upcoming back-to-back at Dallas and New Orleans. James Wiseman, who has cleared protocols, will not travel with team as he continues to make his way back. – 8:24 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
James Wiseman cleared protocols, won’t go on the road trip. Steve Kerr said the hope is now that Wiseman advances to contact work next week. – 8:22 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM

Gary Payton II
Andrew Wiggins
Draymond Green
Kevon Looney – 8:20 PM Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
Just remembered that Miami Trey Lyles was different. – 8:14 PM Alykhan Bijani @Rockets_Insider
Sometimes not possible, but wonder if Theis can use the defense playing off of him to the #Rockets advantage by catching, then dribbling into a dribble hand-off with a ball-handler when the Big is camped in the paint and willing to give up the open 3. Similar to Draymond + Steph. – 8:09 PM Noah Levick @NoahLevick
Transition defense a big first-half problem for the Sixers — 16 fast-break points already for the Rockets.
Tobias Harris and Seth Curry have combined to shoot 3 for 16 from the floor. – 8:08 PM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
Coming soon? Injured Warriors center James Wiseman had a solid workout this morning and is inching closer to a season debut. pic.twitter.com/IXpyRwSpeU – 7:57 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
James Wiseman has cleared health and safety protocols and is out on the court getting shots up ahead of Warriros v. Heat. He is still inactive as he recovers from a right meniscus tear, but this is a good step forward for him pic.twitter.com/1tB6HZLXcZ – 7:50 PM Michael Grange @michaelgrange
