The match was quite enthralling as the Heat defeated Giannis Antetokounmpo’s side with a score of 119-114. Brook Lopez’s 36-point haul wasn’t enough to secure them the win, while Antetokounmpo also scored just 26 points.

Either way, it is a huge win for them. Moreover, Butler’s performance has left Neymar in awe. But this isn’t the only news that left the Brazilian in amazement, as he recently announced the pregnancy of his girlfriend.
