"The Heat dropped to 22-21 after a 135-112 blowout by the Warriors, and Steph Curry didn't even reach the 20-point threshold. As for the Heat, only Norman Powell scored more than 20 points, and Bam Adebayo scored four. It wasn't the best follow-up to beating the Thunder, and this loss continued a trend the Heat have struggled with lately. Miami was in lockstep with Golden State throughout the first half, to the point where the Heat went into halftime down just four points."
"Really, Miami had no excuses in the second half, firstly because Green didn't play in the game, and Jimmy Butler tragically went down the middle of the third quarter and never returned. It was revealed sometime after the game by ESPN's Shams Charania that Butler tore his right ACL, ending his season and quite possibly ending the Warriors' chances of any real playoff hopes."
The Miami Heat edged the Oklahoma City Thunder 122-120 in an unexpected win.

Jimmy Butler suffered a season-ending right ACL tear in the third quarter, as revealed by ESPN's Shams Charania. Miami's role players were largely outplayed by Golden State's supporting cast, and Miami collapsed in the second half.
