The ‘best thing’ for Giannis-led Heat after 0-2 start, per Erik Spoelstra

The Miami Heat started the 2026-27 NBA regular season with an 0-2 record after losing their opener to the Minnesota Timberwolves 131-106 on Wednesday, followed by another defeat against the Detroit Pistons on Friday. The losses came despite Giannis Antetokounmpo making his regular season debut with Miami, marking the beginning of a new era for the franchise. Head coach Erik Spoelstra addressed the slow start, identifying what he considers the 'best thing' for the team moving forward as they look to turn things around.
