Miami Heat fans were about to throw in the towel after owning the longest active losing streak in the league.
Winning six in a row will change some minds. The Heat added another blowout victory to their recent streak, defeating the Boston Celtics Wednesday night to avoid the season sweep.
We can talk about the performances of Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, who combined for 46 points in another star duo showcase.
But rookie guard Pelle Larsson caught the fans' attention after his 16-point performance on 4-of-9 shooting from the field. Larsson is averaging 15 points, 5.7 rebounds, and two steals over the last three games.
