fail on both counts 在兩個重要的點上都失敗

The mission was simple for the Miami Heat. Stay healthy, and build momentum for the postseason.

They failed on both counts.

這篇文章是從nba.com來的,說邁阿密熱火隊只要健康和有動力就可以在季後賽出頭。但他們沒做到。
以下是Longman的解釋:
on all/several/both etc counts:
解釋:in every way, in several ways etc
例句:It was important that they secure a large and widespread audience. They failed on both counts.

It is important to keep healthy and diligent in pursuit of this degree, yet he failed on both counts.
