Myron Gardner gets Anthony Edwards’ attention with chatter from Heat bench miamiherald.com/sports/nba/m… Bam Adebayo: “That’s Myron. Myron did it to Klay, and now they’re teammates."
Entire Heat roster expected to be available for tomorrow's home game vs. Pistons.
The only standard contract Pistons player on the injury report is Taurean Prince, who is probable due to personal reasons.

For everyone asking, “how is this legal?” It’s not! He gathers with his right foot on the floor and would be permitted two steps by rule (left-right). He takes four steps after gathering the ball and travels.
A lot went wrong for the Heat in Giannis Antetokounmpo’s debut miamiherald.com/sports/nba/m… Giannis: “We weren’t ourselves today. I think everybody in this locker room knows that.”

The Heat declined to make Myron Gardner available for interviews today at practice in the wake of Anthony Edwards’ comments about trash talk from the Heat’s bench.
The Heat was outscored by 10 points in the 16 minutes that Adebayo and Antetokounmpo played together last night.
But then again, the Heat's entire nine-man rotation finished as a negative in the opener.

Anthony Edwards said a Heat bench player was chirping: "I think it kind of crunk me up. He was talking pretty crazy. When I start talking to him, he didn’t really have too much more to say. I don’t really like that. If you gonna talk shit, keep talking shit. Don’t get quiet."
Giannis Antetokounmpo repeated a few times during his postgame media session that the Heat has to "trust" each other.
Antetokounmpo: "We have to trust what we're doing."
Erik Spoelstra: "We're going to have to step up our defense."
Spoelstra also added "it did not look like us" on offense."
Along with finishing with a big edge in three-point shooting, the Timberwolves also closed with a 17-4 edge in offensive rebounds. Minnesota outscored Miami 20-6 in second-chance points.
