Miami Heat didn’t have a good offensive performance in their last game, but a strong defensive effort helped them pull out a victory. That is exactly what happened in their two matchups with the New Jersey Nets this season. The Heat look for their third win in as many games against the lowly Nets on Monday night at the Izod Center.Facing a third straight loss, Miami defeated Charlotte 77-71 on Saturday despite shooting 35.9 percent. The Heat got only 14 points from Dwyane Wade and were playing without the injured Jermaine O’Neal, but turned in one of their best defensive games of the season.
The Heat moved a half-game ahead of Charlotte for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. Miami is in the top five in the NBA in scoring defense, yielding 94.9 points per game. That impressive average is the result of efforts such as the two performances against the Nets. Miami won the first matchup 81-80 on Nov. 14 and took the second 87-84 on Feb. 17. The Heat shot 39.2 percent in those contests but limited New Jersey to 39.0. Wade delivered a 3-pointer with 0.1 seconds left in the first victory, and the Heat overcame Wade’s first-quarter departure due to a sprained calf in the second meeting.
