How Miami Heat’s Twitter Reacted to the Win Against the Utah Jazz Monday

The Miami Heat’s overtime loss to the Orlando Magic Saturday night left a bitter taste in many fans’ mouths. Thankfully, the Heat rebounded against the Utah Jazz in a highly contested game.

Jimmy Butler had another superstar game, leading the team in every category except rebounding. Butler had 24 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks. Heat fans would normally rave about this type of performance but they were too focused on his hair changes throughout the night.

Unlike Saturday, Butler’s performance was not alone. The help from his teammates made the difference to avoid wasting his efforts this time around. Six players had at least four points in the fourth quarter, spreading out the scoring in Miami’s lineup. Tyler Herro and Gabe Vincent each had 18 points, producing for a backcourt that has been underwhelming lately. Bam Adebayo struggled in the first half, going 2 of 5 from the field for five points. He came up big in the second half, scoring 11 points and getting the game-clinching block.

Despite the good feedback, some fans were not impressed. Trading blows with a Jazz team below .500 didn’t instill confidence in many fans, especially as the Heat are 12 games away from the postseason.

“This team isn't getting out of the first round,” one fan said.

The Heat have a chance to prove themselves against a more formidable opponent. They face the Memphis Grizzlies (41-26) Wednesday night, who have won three straight despite missing star Ja Morant.
