The Butler Did It: Jimmy Blocks Game-Winner Attempt from Devin Booker, Heat Beat Suns 113-112

The Miami Heat extend their winning streak to 3 games as they move to .500.

The Miami Heat are back in the .500 column following a close and crucial win against the Phoenix Suns. Though the game was back and forward with many lead changes, the Suns had momentum going into the fourth quarter, being up 13 PTs with 11 minutes remaining. The Heat defense, however, came alive led by the resurgence of Bam Adebayo as they stormed back to take a 1 PT lead in the final seconds. Jimmy Butler closely guarded star Devin Booker and as Booker took a pull-up jumper, Butler perfectly timed the block and successfully contested a final put-back three-point heave from Booker.

Overall, the Heat have looked very nicely during the win streak despite injuries to Tyler Herro, Victor Oladipo, and Omer Yurtseven. Adebayo led the way with a double-double with 30 PTs and 10 REBs. Butler also had a double-double, with 16 PTs and a game-high of 13 REBs. Seven of the eight Heat players scored in double figures.

The Miami Heat will look to continue their win streak and momentum into their next game, facing the Toronto Raptors in Canada on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 7:30 pm est.
