Comment on Adebayo, Butler push Heat to seventh consecutive home win, 116-111 over Pacers

Adebayo, Butler push Heat to seventh consecutive home win, 116-111 over Pacers

The roster could change with Thursday’s 3 p.m. NBA trading deadline. What the Miami Heat needed to do Wednesday night was change the outlook after an uneven 1-3 trip. Back on their home court, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo could not have looked more at home in leading the Heat to a 116-111 victory over the Indiana Pacers at Miami-Dade Arena. With the Heat moving away from what has been a largely unproductive 3-point attack this season, the Heat instead turned to Butler at the rim and Adebayo in the paint. Adebayo led the Heat with 38 points, with Butler scoring 25, as the Heat extended their season-best home winning streak to seven, with the league-worst Houston Rockets up next on Friday night at the end of this two-game homestand. The Heat also got a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double from forward Caleb Martin, who also had a career-high five steals, and 15 points from guard Tyler Herro. The Heat attempted a season-low 19 3-pointers, making six. “It just depends on the team, depends on the game, depends on what’s given to you,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
