How to Watch Heat-Warriors Game On Thursday
Stephen Curry and the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors will be back in action on Thursday night, as Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat come to town for the second game of a back-to-back.
Miami traveled to Portland on Wednesday night to take on Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers and they came away with their first road victory of the season, beating the Blazers 119-98. Getting back on track after losing three of their first four games at home, the Heat will now face a tough task facing the defending champions with less than 24 hours to prepare.
Golden State will not go easy on Miami either, especially after the loss they suffered in Phoenix on Tuesday night left a sour taste in their mouths.
The Warriors lost 134-105 to the Phoenix Suns in a game that really got out of hand in the second-half, as the Suns outscored the Warriors 62-39 in the second-half after leading by six points at halftime.
With Klay Thompson returning following his first career ejection, as well as Stephen Curry coming off his worst scoring performance of the season, the Warriors will be looking to get back to their winning ways in front of their home faithful against the Heat.
Both teams have high title aspirations this season, but only one team will pick up their third victory of the season. Will it be the Miami Heat winning their second game in as many days to move to 3-3 or will the Golden State Warriors prevail and move to 3-2 on the season?
