NEW YORK — Jimmy Butler returned after missing seven games with a sprained toe and scored 31 points, including two free throws with 11.8 seconds left in overtime to help the Miami Heat beat the Brooklyn Nets 96-95 on Monday night.
"I'm just glad we won," Butler said. "I think I did enough running and conditioning to be able to come back and play 40 (minutes). Whatever was needed, we got to do."
Tyler Herro had 29 points and 11 rebounds, and Bam Adebayo added 11 points and 20 rebounds in Miami's third straight win.
