It was the start of the fourth quarter between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs Saturday evening inside FTX Arena in Miami, Fla. The Heat possessed a two-point advantage — 99-97 — courtesy of Bam Adebayo’s 21-foot mid-range buzzer-beater to end the third.
He had 20 points heading into the final period, posting 10 in the third quarter alone. With Butler on the bench — who evidently sat the entire fourth quarter due to soreness, something he and head coach Erik Spoelstra both acknowledged postgame — Adebayo was on the floor with guards Gabe Vincent, Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro, as well as wing Caleb Martin.
