How Miami Heat's Twitter Reacted To Tuesday's Win Over The Orlando Magic
It feels like it's been ages since the Miami Heat had a convincing blowout win.
But alas, it came Tuesday night against their division rival Orlando Magic.
Jimmy Butler stuffed the stat sheet with team highs in nearly every category. He had 23 points, eight rebounds, three steals and eight assists. But it wasn't just Butler that showed out for Miami in this convincing victory.
The Heat had six other players in double figures, including Caleb Martin, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Josh Richardson. Meanwhile, star guard Terry Rozier had arguably his best offensive display since arriving in Miami, scoring 18 points on 58 percent shooting.
Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo each added solid 14-point performances. Honestly, neither really had to do too much given the balanced contributions all night.
The Heat are still one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league, but their defensive production has once again been the backbone to their success. And Tuesday's game showed they have the capability of offensive prosperity.
"Spo might’ve figured something out with this new rotation," user HeatCulture said. "Caleb was amazing as a starter, Jimmy is in god mode, Rozier is finally getting in rhythm and JRich has been balling. Gotta get more Ws."
The blowout win is appealing, but Miami needs to carry this momentum going forward. Thankfully, they play the San Antonio Spurs (10-40) Wednesday night.
Hopefully, the postgame reactions will be filled with more celebratory posts instead of bitterness amidst a disappointing loss.
