Miami Heat beat the Golden State Warriors 114-102

Due to a strained left calf, Heat star forward Jimmy Butler missed his fourth straight game. Josh Richardson (back discomfort), Kyle Lowry (soreness), and Caleb Martin (sprained right ankle) were also out. Miami began a five-game West Coast journey with a win thanks to 18 points and six rebounds from Jamal Cain, as well as 17 points apiece from Bam Adebayo and Jaime Jaquez Jr.

After starting the season 1-6 at home, Golden State had won eight straight games at Chase Centre. This was their first loss in San Francisco since a Nov. 18 loss to Oklahoma City. With a 15-16 record, the Warriors fell back below.500 overall. For the Warriors, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson each scored thirteen points. Until 3:44 remained in the second quarter, Curry was kept off the scoreboard. The star guard was kept to a more submissive role by the defence and had only taken three shots before breaking through.
