Doc fans are still in disbelief over the Heat’s win over the CavaliersAfter the competition, Wiggins would talk about the big differences between this season and the previous one.

There’s no denying that this Miami team is vastly different from last season, especially in terms of their offensive identity, as the group relies heavily on a fast-paced, free-flowing system. But also, there is a change in the dressing room that resulted in a great success at the beginning of the new season, in which they play with “much joy,” as Wiggins told ClutchPoints.

“I feel really good,” Wiggins said after finishing with 23 points and five assists in the win over the Cavaliers. “Winning in this league is tough, so you can’t take every game for granted. You learn from it. . . . This new offense, day and night, we’re out there, we’re playing with a lot of joy, we’re playing fast. You know, everybody’s in a great rhythm there. So it’s been a great start to the year.”

As mentioned earlier, Wiggins had game-winning dunk with 0.4 seconds left it gave Miami a thrilling victory against a Cleveland team that embarrassed them in the playoffs. Such a victory is undoubtedly a “confidence builder”, as Wiggins said.

“It’s a confidence builder,” Wiggins said. “Even though we have some guys out, we’re still able to do what we do because of the system we’re in. And the guys just step up and do everything together.”

The Heating is a new and improved system he changed the team for the better in evolving into a high-scoring, up-tempo offense that saw the team lead the league with 106.58 possessions per 48 minutes and 125.5 points per game. One player who benefited from the new philosophy was Nikola Jovic, who made a perfect pass to Wiggins for a dunk, as he cited a key difference in how the team feels like “a big family.”

“I think a lot of things are different“, Jovic said. “You know, first of all, we kind of know each other now. Last year, I didn’t feel like we really knew what we were doing. After that, we just believe in what we’re doing. And when Sam Merrill made four threes in two minutes, I felt like we still believed we were going to win. We knew we deserved it and we just maybe played simple basketball. I mean, I think that’s it. And sometimes we don’t look great, but I think every day we’re looking better and better.”

Either way, Miami is now 7-4 on the season and undefeated at home (5-0) as the team looks to keep the streak going in Wednesday’s rematch against Cleveland.
