The Golden State Warriors have a somewhat emotional game ahead of them tonight, as they visit the Miami Heat. It’s Jimmy Butler III’s return to Miami to face the team that he carried to the NBA Finals twice, before messily forcing his way off of. And it’s Golden State’s first game against Andrew Wiggins since trading him at the deadline — a move that broke the hearts of everyone in the organization.
Setting emotion aside — which Butler certainly plans on doing — it’s also a critical game. It’s the second game on a six-game road trip, and the Dubs are hoping to bounce back following a lackluster loss on Saturday.
