Heat-Raptors … I can’t remember ever watching a game quite like that. Felt like a Free Darko dream sequence. Two teams with multiple post-doc degrees in off-ball spacing + technique on both ends.
Jimmy Butler is too clever. One of the most unique players in NBA history. – 11:42 PM

Five Degrees of Heat from Monday night’s 104-99 victory over the Raptors: sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h…

2. Butler (triple-double), Herro carry the load.
3. An emotional, productive Adebayo return.
4. Robinson again starts.
5. Dedmon over Yurtseven. – 10:50 PM

Precious obviously has a long way to go with eradicating the tunnel vision offensively but his lateral quickness and overall ability to defend on the perimeter have been a big plus for the Raptors. – 8:55 PM

Half-court O has been shaky again & Raps are just 4-15 from 3 (1-8 for the non-VanVleets), but they’re playing with great energy & pushing the ball in transition. It’s keeping ’em in it. Boucher giving them a lift off the bench as Nurse sticks to a tight 7-man rotation. Heat by 7 – 8:47 PM

At halftime, the Heat lead the Raptors 58-51.
Just 10 3-point attempts in the first half for the Heat in Bam’s first game back, mostly because they’ve been able to get to the rim often (15 free throws and 30 points in the paint). – 8:42 PM

Trent remains a game-time call, per Nurse. He’ll do a workout on the court in a bit and they’ll make a decision from there. Barnes returns tonight vs Miami, as expected. – 6:07 PM

Mike Budenholzer was not thrilled with THAT whistle, for sure:
