How Norm Powell and Defensive Adjustments Fueled Miami Heat's Win Over the Pelicans
from Locked On Heat - Daily Podcast On The Miami Heat · host Locked On Podcast Network, David Ramil
The Miami Heat blow out the New Orleans Pelicans as Norm Powell explodes for 34 points—cementing his case as Miami’s best offensive weapon since LeBron James. Could Powell be in line for an All-Star nod with his season-high numbers? The Heat’s defense tightened in the second half, shutting down Zion Williamson and capitalizing on turnovers to secure five wins in their last six games. Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down Miami’s evolving offensive strategy, Nikola Jovic’s confident bounce-back, and the unsung impact of Pelle Larsson off the bench. They debate trade rumors involving Zion Williamson versus Giannis Antetokounmpo, Tyler Herro’s looming return, and Bam Adebayo’s recent scoring slump. 0:00 — Heat vs Pelicans Recap11:25 — Credit Cookies & Norm Powell's Rise23:09 — Zion Trade & Inside Bam's StrugglesEverydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
