"Instead of coming off the bench, Larsson was asked to set the tone alongside the rest of the starting 5. Larsson answered the call, finishing with 17 points, five rebounds, three assists, and perhaps most importantly, zero turnovers or personal fouls. Larsson also finished 3-6 from 3-point range. He wasn't the only reason why the Heat took down the Hornets in dominating fashion, but he helped keep the offense free-flowing,"
"After three so-so performances this season, in which he was averaging less than 10 minutes played per game, Larsson looked natural. Playing 31 minutes for the Heat on Tuesday night, Larsson sent a strong message to Spo: he's ready for more, and can handle an extended role if called upon. He also said all the right things after his breakout performance of the season."
Pelle Larsson started in place of the sidelined Norman Powell and delivered a 17-point performance in 31 minutes, adding five rebounds and three assists with zero turnovers or fouls. He shot 3-of-6 from three and helped maintain a free-flowing offense despite the absence of primary scorers. Larsson had averaged under 10 minutes across earlier appearances but looked natural when given extended minutes. The performance reflects both the Heat's system and Larsson's offseason work. The result strengthens his case for more playing time and a consistent role, though future opportunities may depend on roster health.
