Miami had a miserable night shooting, especially from the foul line, as they could make just 5-of-19 as a collective unit. And Whiteside missing all eight of his free-throw attempts did not help Miami's cause at all.

"We work on them all the time. Maybe we should stop working on them," coach Eric Spoelstra said. "Hassan works on them as hard as anyone, and he's got good technique. He's had stretches like this before and he'll get it back."

Coming off of a 19-point performance against the Bucks in the previous game, it looked like Heat's big men were having some serious trouble getting buckets, even in the absence of Pistons big Andre Drummond.

Hassan played for 19 points and attempted just 6 shots. He finished with just 8 points and 10 rebounds for the game, along with a couple of blocked shots.
