There may have been no Kyle Lowry Reunion tonight — but it was a reunion for others in Miami. A homecoming for Scottie Barnes, Florida-native, and a comeback for Precious Achiuwa, who was taken 20th overall by the Miami Heat in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Everyone knew this game would be a tough match even without Kyle Lowry — the Heat are 2nd overall in the East (only behind OTHER former Raptor DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls). This team is tough, strong, and know how to shoot as well as defend at a high level.
