Thanks to a collective team effort, the HEAT remained perfect in the preseason and defeated the Magic 107-98 Thursday night at Amway Center.
Let’s see how they did it.
1. Jimmy Gets Buckets
Entering the night, Jimmy Butler hadn’t scored as much in the preseason as we’re used to seeing.
Well, you can forget about that now.
With Orlando gaining some momentum midway through the second quarter, Butler calmed things down and scored 10 straight points for Miami.
That streak culminated early in the third, but the 30-year-old vet continued to finish plays at the rim with relative ease, both in the half court and in transition.
