Finally back in the win column.
Thanks to a great second half, the HEAT snapped a six-game losing streak and defeated the Knicks 98-88 Monday night at Madison Square Garden.
And naturally, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo were a big reason why.
Let’s get right into their performances, shall we?

Seriously, he dropped 15 points in the period to help the HEAT seize control.
For a perfect example of just how much he was cookin’, take a look at this awesome drive and left-handed scoop over Julius Randle late in the quarter:
Oh yeah, he also put the finishing touches on the game with this alley-oop jam courtesy of Andre Iguodala’s elite hands and Tyler Herro’s pinpoint lob:
Watch out for Sleeve Jimmy.
