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

Warriors vs Heat: Game summary and key moments

Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, and Al Horford’s absence in the Warriors lineup was sorely felt tonight. The shorthanded Dubs’ once again fell in Florida, a trend since Jimmy’s first game back in Miami after the trade.

It was a near-even match. The first three quarters saw each team close the gap. While the Warriors were better at rebounding, the Heat made up in assists and steals. The most glaring part was the Warriors 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 is still on the low. Buddy Hield had 18 points on his return and Quinten Post is the silent consistent force with 19.

The Warriors end this six-game, nine-day trip getting swept by Florida’s teams. They will host the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday for the NBA Cup game. The Miami Heat is heading to Chicago for the same.
