Heat force a third quarter rally to take down Cavaliers

Butler and Adebayo helped Miami Heat bounce back from the Suns' loss just two nights later. The two players inspired Heat to beat Cleveland Cavaliers this season. Butler came back to action after missing a few matches due to the sinus infection and assist Bam Adebayo at FTX Arena to help the team win by 117-105.

Cavs had dominated the last two matches between the sides and seemed like a difficult competitor. Butler’s third-quarter performance turned things around for Heat with 11 of his 24 points and Adebayo finished with a monstrous 30 points and 17 rebounds. Kyle Lowry did not contribute much from the field but did dish out 10 assists. Heat now enjoys a 2.5 game lead over the second-place Milwaukee Bucks.
