Beasley Humbled on Day 2 of Summer League Play

 
In the MIAMI HERALD, Michael Wallace writes "it didn't take Heat rookie Michael Beasley long to experience the ups and downs that come with being a marked man in the NBA. Beasley missed 12 of 13 field-goal attempts, committed five turnovers and had seven fouls in the Heat's 90-81 victory against the Nets, who were determined to knock Beasley off his game -- and his feet. Beasley missed his first 10 shots and did not make a field goal until he hit a three-pointer from the corner with 7:35 left in the third quarter. But the Heat overcame Beasley's off night by getting solid play elsewhere." (link)
