SACRAMENTO — “Culture” remains available at your neighborhood retail outlets.
But when it comes to next season’s Miami Heat City Edition, the challenge will be to feature “We Have Enough” across the chest.
Because Monday night at Golden 1 Center, even without suspended Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jovic and Thomas Bryant, and even without ailing Tyler Herro, Terry Rozier, Josh Richardson and Orlando Robinson, the Heat, well, as Erik Spoelstra relishes saying, had enough.
More than enough.
Heat 121, Sacramento Kings 110.
And, so, the revival continues, making it eight victories in the past 10 games, as this four-game trip next makes its third stop Tuesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Lacking three point guards and three big men, and shorthanded to the degree that Cole Swider and Alondes Williams saw action in the first period, the Heat got 28 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists from center Bam Adebayo and a host of complementary contributions from the remaining last men standing.
From backup center Kevin Love there were 19 points and seven rebounds.
From guard Duncan Robinson, there were a career-high 11 assists.
And when it came to needed energy, there were 26 points from Jaime Jaquez Jr., 16 from Caleb Martin and 15 from Haywood Highsmith.
Idle for two days after Friday night’s victory over the New Orleans Pelicans to open the trip, the Heat were the fresher and feistier team, with the Kings coming off a Sunday road victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Five Degrees of Heat from Monday night’s game:
1. Closing time: The Kings led 33-32 after the first period, with the Heat then taking a 65-62 lead into halftime.
Then, from 71-71 in the third period, the Heat closed the quarter on a 30-10 run to take a 101-81 lead into the fourth.
Love scored 10 points over the final 4:19 of the third quarter, with the Heat outscoring the Kings by 15 when he was on the court during that stint.
But with an 18-3 run in the fourth, the Kings moved within 108-104, forcing a Heat timeout with 5:01 to play and the Kings then moving within 110-108 with 3:41 to play.
From there, a pair of Jaquez relief baskets put the Heat up 114-108, before a Keegan Murray steal and score got the Kings within 114-110 with 1:38 left.
An Adebayo jumper followed for a 116-110 Heat lead with 1:16 to play, with a driving dunk by Martin making it 118-110 with 49 seconds left, effectively ending it.
2. Lineup No. 30: Left with no other option, the Heat opened with lineup No. 30 in game No. 57.
This time it was Adebayo, Jaquez, Martin, Robinson and Delon Wright.
The Heat used 26 lineups last season over those 82 games.
Wright became the 17th player to start for the Heat this season, leaving Swider and Williams as the only players under contract to the Heat season not to start.
Swider and Williams both saw action in the first period, with only 10 Heat players available.
3. Wright’s debut: Wright’s first Heat start came in his first appearance with the Heat. Fittingly, based on his defensive bent, his first basket came in transition off a steal, on his first shot with the Heat.
When the Heat went to their zone, he then was stationed at the top alongside Highsmith, active and aggressive.
While he closed the first half with three assists, Wright also was largely deferential to Adebayo and Martin when it came to advancing the ball.
But he then stepped up with a pair of third-quarter 3-pointers, when he scored eight in the period.
4. Active Adebayo: Adebayo played in attack mode early after Kings center Domantas Sabonis was called for two fouls in the opening 3:42.
Adebayo closed the first period with 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting, with no teammate taking more than four shots in the period. He was up to 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting at the intermission.
With the Heat limited in the power rotation, Adebayo also spent time playing alongside Love, up to 21 points, nine rebounds and seven assists through three periods.
5. Little big men: With the Heat power rotation lacking the size of Jovic, Bryant and Robinson, the Heat’s undersized power forwards both had their moments.
Highsmith was up to 15 points by the intermission, limited only by his three first-half fouls, with Martin with 12 first-half points.
Highsmith and Martin both were 3 of 4 on 3-pointers in the first half.
