The optimism of Miami Heat fans is at an all-time high at this point in the season. They have even more cause for optimism going forward after what happened on Saturday night. The Heat won, their 10th in the previous 13 games, after a close fourth-quarter matchup with the Utah Jazz.
Without discussing Jimmy Butler‘s season-high 37 points, we can’t begin at any point. His excellent playmaking enabled Miami to overcome a double-digit third-quarter deficit. Some fan comments were,
“Jimmy activating #JiMVP mode, season-high 37 points,”
“Caleb and JJJ providing valuable production off the bench. Bam and Rozier were excellent tonight. Keep it pushing.”
Bam Adebayo, who scored 23 points on 67 percent shooting, was just behind Butler. As Terry Rozier adjusts, supporters want to see his aggressive rim-finishing as the backup option.
Miami Heat’s Twitter Handle explodes after the win
Off the bench, Caleb Martin finished with 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Over the past four games, he has averaged 13.8 points on 65 percent shooting from three-point range. These were the Twitter Handle posts,

Rozier, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Duncan Robinson each recorded double-digit efforts to complete the scoring. The Heat are a tough opponent because of the flexibility of their scoring.
Despite his 14 points and 8 assists, Rozier’s supporters are still holding out hope that he can eventually establish himself as a viable second option.
On Tuesday night, the Heat take on the Detroit Pistons.
