“He has very disciplined gambles and I know that’s counterintuitive, but Jimmy’s a disciplined team defender’’ Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said of Butler, who had 29 points, nine assists, seven rebounds, and five steals for the suddenly surging Heat. “He has a knack, that super-high IQ and that cat quickness that you can’t teach, and it surprises everybody.”

Tyler Herro has been dealing with a nagging shoulder injury as of late. However, he pushed through and still played against the Magic. He looked great and scored 22 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and dished out 3 assists. Kelly Olynyk had a good game as well with 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. Things are starting to click. Their next game is Tuesday, 3/16 in Miami against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The tip-off is at 8 pm.
