Udonis Haslem logged 25 minutes in Sunday’s 123-105 win over Orlando, tallying 24 points (9-of-17 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, and three 3-pointers.
Playing in his final regular season game, Haslem made the most of his time on the court Sunday afternoon. The three 3-pointers were a career-high for “Mr. 305,” and it goes without saying that the 24 points are a season-high. His performance was a reminder of what the guy on the end of an NBA bench is capable of and quite the farewell for a player who’s meant so much to his hometown team. Of Miami’s five starters, only Haywood Highsmith (2/5/3/1/1 in 27 minutes) played extended minutes on Sunday. Duncan Robinson (20/2/4/1 with three 3-pointers) and Victor Oladipo (19/2/8/2 with five 3-pointers) played well off the bench for the Heat, who host Atlanta on Tuesday in a play-in game. The winner will face Boston in the first round of the playoffs.
