Suns no longer doubling Butler
When he re-enters, they need him to take advantage of that single coverage – 12:01 AM

End of third quarter: Heat 78, Suns 73. Heat led by as many as 14 points, but Suns closed the quarter on a 19-10 run to trim the deficit.

When you attack the paint, it tests not only strength, but conditioning and legs.
For Bridges, it’s a totally different game than catch and shoot 3s. 0-for-5 from the field.
Plus he’s playing through something. Wrap on right knee in pregame. Had ice on it in Cleveland. #Suns – 11:12 PM

With the Heat’s offense being so strongly based on mismatch hunting at the moment, this Max Strus shooting is major
Butler doing a great job of point out matchups and going at them
Suns defense pinching
Shots will be there – 10:20 PM

Phoenix is 3 of 6 on 3s in the first five minutes of this one. Butler driving and creating 3s for the Heat is gonna be huge. Strus made his first, which is a good sign. – 10:18 PM

Final: Nets beat the Pelicans 108-102. Kevin Durant finishes with 33 points. He’ll pass Dominique Wilkins on the all-time scoring list with his first basket in Miami on Sunday. Royce and Kyrie with some big shots down the stretch. Terrific game from Clax. – 10:07 PM

Went big with Dario Saric at #Cavs after starting Torrey Craig.
Looking at Miami, Craig seems like ideal guy to start, but as Williams says, “we’ll see.”
