“I don’t really look at it for myself, necessarily, like: ‘Hey, this is great as a head coach, we need to make that,’” Bisaccio said of the possibility of coaching the Heat to its first Las Vegas Summer League title. “There are so many people that are involved in this process. Our front office has done such a great job of putting this team together. Not only are they good players on the court, competitive players, but they’re great people. They work together, they work hard. “And then our staff, I’ve been truly spoiled with our staff that’s made up of those from the Heat and also [the Sioux Falls Skyforce]. I credit [coaches] Kasib Powell, Wayne Ellington, for really keeping me sane at times and really bringing the energy and their willingness to be selfless and help out in every way is great. And then our coaches that aren’t even here, Chris Quinn, Eric Glass, Malik Allen, obviously [Erik Spoelstra], these guys are in my ear constantly about things that are like, ‘Hey, this is great, I love what you’re doing.’ A very big support group we have, and that’s something I’m truly appreciative of.”

Love made an immediate impact, scoring 15 points on 5-of-5 shooting from the field, 3-of-3 shooting on threes and 2-of-2 shooting from the foul line while playing the final 5:45 of the first quarter. Love’s 15 first-quarter points off the bench were the most by a Heat reserve since Wayne Ellington had 15 points in the first quarter against the Portland Trail Blazers on Dec. 13, 2017, according to Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press. Also, Love tied Cam Thomas for the most points by any reserve in a first quarter this season.

Then came a meeting with coach Erik Spoelstra, Ellington’s coach during his 2 1/2 seasons with the Heat. "We just had some clear, crystal-clear conversations,” Ellington says. “Obviously, Spo and I had always been connected and never really lost that connection. So it just made more sense for me, after those conversations that we had, to take this route.”

Anthony Chiang: The Heat has hired a familiar face, Wayne Ellington, to join Erik Spoelstra’s coaching staff as a player development coach. Ellington fills the void left by Anthony Carter, who left to join the Grizzlies’ coaching staff. The Man with the Golden Arm!

“I’ve just got to be more complete,” said Strus, aware that the shelf life of Heat 3-point specialists can be limited, as exemplified by the Heat tenures of Jason Kapono, James Jones, even Wayne Ellington. “Obviously teams are going to force me to make plays inside the arc. So I’ve got to get better there. And I think I’ve taken leaps and bounds as a player in this league.
