Jimmy Butler got the Heat started off on a spin cycle of a possession, but the Nets weren’t far behind. Spencer Dinwiddie was on fire to start for the Nets (he scored their first eight points). Despite opting to facilitate most of the time, Jimmy was very aggressive offensively to start this game. Unfortunately he had to be, as Miami struggled to score early on.
Duncan Robinson would break the Heat out of the slump, and get them going on an 10-0 scoring run but Miami’s cushion wouldn’t last long.
