Pregame Coach Spo said
• Duncan Robinson caught his finger in a Jersey at shoot around.
• Bam Adebayo had some knee issues but wanted to take caution with him
• No Jimmy Butler
• No Gabe Vincent due to Knee fusion

The Heat’s early game-plan tonight was Jimmy Butler forcing the VanVleet switch
They sent a double, but I expect this to tune up in this opening stint
VanVleet 3 fouls, Jimmy will be going right at him here – 8:49 PM

Great half for Anunoby: 14 points, 5 rebounds, 7-8 FG and the primary defender on Jimmy Butler, who’s just about the only Heat player not getting whatever they want offensively.
As for the Raps’ D… Miami is shooting 59%, lead 60-54 at the break. – 8:39 PM
