This game oozed chaotic energy to start as Miami went back and forth with Golden State. It was Jimmy who got things started for Miami in the midrange, the Heat fell behind early as they struggled to guard the three but their high-effort plays would allow them to battle back and keep things close for much of the half.
Bam, Tyler, and Kyle were all active on both ends with Kyle feeding Bam and running the offense like an orchestra (similar to how he did for much of last season). Jimmy was extremely aggressive to start racking up 4 steals, 4 assists, and 9 points in the first quarter alone.
