This game looked over, then the Heat rallied, went on a 13-0 run and stole this game in Giannis’s return. Jimmy Butler with 56 points.
The Heat are up 3-1 on the No. 1 seed, with a real chance to complete the series upset. – 10:09 PM

I’m a big believer in Highsmith’s potential, but it’s asking a lot of him on both ends to have this role all of a sudden in Game 4. He’s been involved in a number of miscommunications and errors defensively. Latest was letting Giannis rip thru and go baseline on that iso. – 8:30 PM
