The Miami Heat bounced back from an ugly loss to the Phoenix Suns two nights ago to get their first victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers this season.
Jimmy Butler was back in action after missing a game due to a sinus infection and led the way along with Bam Adebayo for the 117-105 win at the FTX Arena on Friday night. It was the first time either player had faced the Cavs, who had won the first two games in the season series. Butler scored 24 points, including 11 in the third quarter, while Adebayo had a monster game with 30 points (11 for 16 FGs, 8 for 8 FTs) and 17 rebounds.
