Jimmy Butler not only was able to return to the court for the Miami Heat after a 10-game absence, he looked dominant with a season-high 30 points to help lead the Miami Heat to a 105-104 win against the visiting Sacramento Kings. It wasn’t easy, and the Heat needed every single point to stave off a late rally led by De’Aaron Fox’s 17 points in the final quarter but they held on late with a good defensive sequence with four seconds left, ending with a Bam Adebayo deflection to seal the victory.
Adebayo added 18 points and 13 rebounds in a game where he looked great at times and at other times was indecisive and turnover-prone.
