LAKE BUENA VISTA (AP) — Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo each scored 22 points to help the Miami Heat beat the Denver Nuggets 125-105 on Saturday in the first restart game for both teams.
Kelly Olynyk scored all of his 20 points in the fourth quarter for the Heat, who shot 56% from the field.
It was a positive step for Miami after an 18-point loss to Memphis in its final scrimmage on Tuesday. The Heat broke away with a strong second half on both ends.
“I think we really locked in and got stops in the second,” Adebayo said.
