The Heat relied on the efforts of Bam Adebayo, who dropped a double-double on 26 points and 15 rebounds, and Jaime Jaquez Jr., who dropped a double-double on 31 points and ten rebounds. That’s the first time this season that Jaquez Jr. pulled down ten or more rebounds.

Thursday’s matchup is shaping up to be a scrappy game: The Warriors have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 47.4 rebounds per game (they’re ranked first in rebounds per game overall). It’s a different story for the Heat, though, as they’ve been averaging only 41.4 rebounds per game. Given the Warriors’ sizeable advantage in that area, the Heat will need to find a way to close that gap.
