Jimmy Butler made his debut for the Heat tonight and took home the W, as we all expected. Weirdly enough, neither him or Goran Dragic (both finished with 21 points) were the leading scorers tonight. It was Tyler Herro, who broke multiple rookie scoring records for the Heat, finishing with 29 points and 16 free throw attempts, (41 FTA between him, Butler and Bam).
Ethan J. Skolnick and Alex Toledo recap the game and go over the Bucket Bros' (check out our shirts on fivereasonssports.com) impact as well as their surprisingly good offense, the turnovers, and the rotation going forward.

Over the weekend, the Heat put together an impressive comeback on the road against the elite Milwaukee Bucks to win in overtime, and then lost a close game on the second night of a back-to-back at Minnesota, both games without Jimmy Butler. Most importantly, our Five Reasons watch party curse is over, against all odds. Our record with watch parties now stands at a valiant 1-12.
In this show, Ethan J. Skolnick, Alphonse Sidney and Alex Toledo recap what happened in the loss against the Timberwolves and go over some of the main takeaways from the Heat weekend.

This was recorded just prior to Bradley Beal signing an extension with the Wizards.
