When I first checked in on the “Heat” tonight they were rolling. It was 48-33 with 4+’ left in the half. Then The Butler did it: a missed shot, an ATL score; a charge foul, an ATL score; a missed free throw, defensive rebound, an ATL score. At the half an incipient blow out had narrowed to a graspable six. The game started slipping away from ATL from graspable to reachable in the 3Q, at the end of which MIA was up ten. Now with 6:59 to play it's 11, slipping more, not completely, but more, out of reach. Butler has had a terrible game shooting (2/8); does have 8 boards, 8 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks and 3 turnovers. The story of the game so far for Miami is Kendrick RevelatioNunn with 24 points on 8/13. But the “Hawks” aren’t going away quietly. It was down to 6, it’s now 9 on a big Myers Leonard trey...and now another one! Meyers Leonard is on 🔥! 102-88 “Heat”, 3:05 left. An obese woman is testing her voice just off court.
