The worn-out Warriors play the second game of their back-to-back schedule in Florida. But it was not the reunion we imagined. Jimmy Butler didn’t meet his former teammates as he was ruled out after a 33-point explosion against Orlando last night. The Dubs also missed Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Al Horford. It was somewhat of a reunion, though. They met Andrew Wiggins, who was traded for Butler last February. Bam Adebayo was also back from a toe injury. It fell on the Bay’s young core to keep it a close game, but it didn’t work. They lost their second game in Florida, 110-96, and fell to 9-8.

Warriors vs Heat: Game summary and key moments
The Warriors’ four veterans’ absence in the lineup was sorely felt tonight. They missed Jonathan Kuminga as well. Expectedly, the shorthanded Dubs once again fell in Florida, a trend since Butler’s first game back in Miami after the shocking trade. Trayce Jackson-Davis and Gui Santos were entrusted to handle starting duties, a first for either player this season.
But it was a near-even matchup after the Bay managed to recover from a horror 20-4 opening run.
The first three quarters saw each team close the gap. While the Warriors were better on the boards (61-52), the Heat made up for it with assists and steals. However, the most glaring part was the Dubs giving up 34 points in turnovers.
Bam Adebayo ended his hiatus to score 20 tonight. Norman Powell had a game-high 25 points. Without the vets, Brandin Podziemski led the charge for the Warriors with 20 points, but the team’s overall output was still low. Buddy Hield had 18 points on his return (season-high for him), and Quinten Post appeared to be the silent, consistent force with 19.
The Warriors end this six-game, nine-day trip on a sour note. They will host the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday for an NBA Cup game. The Miami Heat is heading to Chicago for the same.
