However, while the previous year was one that ended in the stuff of dreams, the same can’t be said about the start of this season.

While the Heat goes home with smiles, the same can’t be said about the Golden State Warriors. Two-time MVP, Stephen Curry spoke about playing to a standard, and the last three games haven’t honored the championship banners. Curry said: “There is frustration because we have a standard. That’s good because we’ve had championship banners to show for it, but that uneasiness puts you in a position where you have to figure it out. I hope everybody is frustrated with the results, but the process is pretty solid.”

Despite ending up on the losing side, Stephen Curry kept his elite season going. The reigning Finals MVP dished out 13 assists to go with his 23 points and 13 rebounds. Rising to an All-Star caliber, Andrew Wiggins had yet another 20+ point game scoring 21 in the loss. Klay Thompson added a further 19. However, he is yet to get back to the status of being a lethal shooter as the two-time three-point champion shot just 36% from the floor.

For the Miami Heat, despite missing out on their best scorer, Tyler Herro, their will to fight got them through the line. While Butler’s numbers may not stand out, he was crucial in Miami’s fourth-quarter comeback. Notching up 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists, his late game come-up was critical. However, in the absence of Herro, Max Strus led all the scorers. Putting up 24 points, the undrafted star proves to be valuable in a contending team.
