After losing to the Magic yesterday, the Warriors lost back-to-back to the Heat 96-110 on the road today, suffering two consecutive away defeats. In this sixth consecutive away trip, the Warriors achieved a record of 3 wins and 3 losses, and their away record is still only 4 wins and 8 losses. The Warriors currently have a record of 9 wins and 8 losses, ranking eighth in the Western Conference. After ending their 6-game away streak, the Warriors will face five consecutive games against the Trail Blazers, Jazz, Rockets, Pelicans, and Thunder. The Heat's record became 9 wins and 6 losses, tied with the Hawks, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference.

Since it was a back-to-back away game, many of the Warriors' main starters were absent. Curry and Butler, who both scored 30+ points in the last game, did not play. Dream Chaser, Horford, and Kuminga also sat on the sidelines. Therefore, the Warriors' strength today is indeed very average, with only one person in the starting lineup scoring in double figures.

Podemski's performance was average. He started for 34 minutes and made only 6 of 19 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, 20 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. He also made 3 turnovers, with a plus-minus of -13. Post performed well. He played 26 minutes as a substitute, making 8 of 13 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 19 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. However, he also made 5 turnovers, with a plus-minus value of +5. Hill had a poor touch. He played 31 minutes as a substitute, shooting 7 of 20 from the field and 4 of 15 three-pointers. He scored a season-high 18 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 4 turnovers and 4 fouls.

Spencer performed well. He came off the bench for 32 minutes, made 5 of 13 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 11 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals, a quasi-triple-double, with a plus-minus value of +10. Moody still felt bad, playing 36 minutes, shooting 3 of 12, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and only scored 9 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. It is worth mentioning that after scoring 32 points on a career night against the Pelicans, Moody has scored in single digits for two consecutive games.

For the Heat, Powell was still very good. He played 28 minutes, making 10 of 14 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. He scored a game-high 25 points plus 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal. In the final quarter, he scored 17 points on 7 of 8, with a plus-minus value of +11.

In the first 12 games of the season, Powell scored 20+ points in 10 games, and his score has exceeded 300 points, not only leading the team, but also setting the fastest record in Heat team history.

He scored 20 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks, with a plus-minus value of +15.
