Heat Rout Pelicans 153-104, Set Franchise Records

The Miami Heat achieved a historic 153-104 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, marking the highest-scoring game in franchise history and the most lopsided loss for the Pelicans. Bam Adebayo led the Heat with 23 points and 12 rebounds, while Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson contributed 22 and 21 points, respectively. Miami dominated the game from the start, outscoring New Orleans 70-46 in the paint and holding a significant rebounding advantage. The Pelicans, playing with only eight available players due to injuries, experienced their sixth consecutive loss and set a franchise record for points allowed in a game. Despite the commanding win, the Heat remain locked into the 10th seed for the playoffs, with their next game against the Bulls in the play-in tournament. Coach Erik Spoelstra expressed confidence in the team's performance as they prepare for the postseason.
