Miami Heat Week 3 Review: Klay’s Game Winner, Doc Rivers Disses Giannis, and Revenge on Cleveland

Week three of the 2026-27 NBA season is in the books, and Eric Labrador of thePeachBasket.net runs it back for the Miami Heat. After a 1 and 2 week, the Heat dropped two spots to 13th in thePeachBasket’s objective power rankings. Eric goes through Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s stat lines, Klay Thompson’s game winner against the Clippers, and the three point shooting that sank Miami against Golden State. Then he previews a Kaseya Center back to back against the Cavaliers and Pistons. In the Full Court Press, Eric looks at how the Heat’s defensive communication is changing and at Doc Rivers’ comments on Giannis’ basketball IQ.
