Winner in Boston for the second time in two games, the Heat might count on great performances from Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo to snatch the decision. The leaders of Miami are at the rendezvous.
Incredible but true, the Heat are therefore 2-0 when leaving Boston tonight. Who would have bet that a few days ago? If Miami goes back to Florida with a smile on their face and whistling, it’s because the players have responded to Beantown. We can mention the soldiers of course, the excellent Caleb Martin, the big shots of Duncan Robinson, Gabe Vincent who comes out of the woodwork in the money time but above all it is necessary to put big spotlights on the executives. When we talk regarding Playoffs, we expect the stars to put out the right performances and the Jimmy Butler – Bam Adebayo doublet did not disappoint tonight.
We start with the hero of the day but probably even the hero of the Playoffs period: Jimmy Butler. Like he usually does, the Miami winger multiplied on both sides of the field (27 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks), rising in temperature little by little in the match until ending in a volcano in the money time. South Beach fans can also thank Grant Williams for having piqued Jimmy’s pride by trashtalking him a little too much. The penalty was direct with a series of baskets and not the easiest to put. Jimmy Butler and money time, always a great love story.

If Butler is the outstanding face of this night, let’s not also forget the big job of Bam Adebayo (22 points, 17 rebonds, 9 passes). Always essential in defense, Bam Bam also weighed in attack with great aggressiveness and shifts. If his percentages (41%) can be explained by the good defense of Robert Williams, Adebayo has also played a big role in the money time on both sides of the field. His putback less than a minute from the end is crucial for the final victory. It should also be noted that the pivot continues its series of the moment in the Playoffs. As soon as Bam scores 20 points, the Heat wins in these 2023 Playoffs. 6 games above 20 units and… 6 wins for Miami. The offensive aggressiveness of the All-Star pays for Erik Spoelstra and his gang.
