How Miami Heat’s Twitter Reacted to the Win Against the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday Night
Many Miami Heat fans were not content with a close victory against the Utah Jazz Monday night. The Heat responded with a blowout against the Memphis Grizzlies.
“Felt like I was watching the 21-22 team,” user HeatCulture said. “The ball was moving, hitting our 3s at a high percent and everyone contributed. Jimmy has been unstoppable since the break, this is the Bam we know and Herro was nearly perfect. Lowry off the bench is working well so far. Keep it going!”
Miami had their highest scoring game of the season. It has been a while since the Heat have won a game by a large margin, leaving many fans to recall the feeling of a comfortable victory.
The Grizzlies were without star Ja Morant and Desmond Bane was ejected in the second half of the game. Some may put an asterisk on this win but Heat fans can appreciate it. Miami failed to take advantage of teams without their best players this season. For the Heat to win, especially in overwhelming fashion, may show signs of progress.
The Heat Twitter account had fun with the win as well, poking fun at the report of Jimmy Butler making the team listen to Nickelback after losing to the Orlando Magic.
The Big Three of Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, and Jimmy Butler led the way. Key contributions from Max Strus, Kevin Love, and Caleb Martin rounded out the scoring. The Heat improved to 12-3 this season shooting over 50 percent.
They play the Chicago Bulls (31-37) Saturday night.
