Miami Heat Suffers Eighth Straight Loss, Marking Historic Low in Spoelstra's Career

The Heat's struggles deepen with offensive inefficiency, blown leads, and post-Jimmy Butler integration challenges threatening their playoff hopes.

The Miami Heat's eight-game losing streak is the longest in Erik Spoelstra's 17-year coaching tenure, highlighting unprecedented struggles for the team.
Monday's 116-95 defeat to the New York Knicks marked the second time in franchise history that the Knicks swept the Heat in a season, the first since 1992-93.
The Heat have lost 18 games this season after leading by double digits, including squandering a 13-point lead against the Knicks on Monday.
Offensive challenges persist, with the team being held under 100 points in three consecutive games for the first time since 2018.
The trade of Jimmy Butler and the integration of Andrew Wiggins, coupled with injuries and frequent lineup changes, have destabilized the Heat's performance and cohesion.
