DENVER — Aaron Gordon sat at his locker, intermittently shaking his head. The subject of his stare shifted — his phone, a stat sheet, the ground at his feet — as if he was searching for something. Some answers, maybe, for what the hell had just happened out there.
"To me, the wheels really fell off to start that fourth quarter," Malone said."They were getting whatever they wanted — threes, layups — and that allowed them once again to sit back in their zone offense, slow the game down. We had a hard time getting stops, and then we had a hard time getting made baskets on the other end. Our defense has to be a hell of a lot better.
And against a poised, sharp, relentless Heat team that never lacks for intensity or energy, and that prides itself on taking advantage of every mistake, such a dramatic late-game lapse can prove fatal. Back in the postgame locker room, while Gordon kept searching, Brown donned his cowboy hat and offered a measure of confidence, albeit delivered with some cold-cup-of-coffee self-reflection.
