Magic can't combat the Heat, as Butler barrage settles game
MIAMI — It took 63 seconds for Jimmy Butler to decide the game.
That's all he needed to go on a personal 8-0 run — a stepback 3-pointer from the right corner, an all-alone 3-pointer from the left wing and then a jumper in the lane — midway through the fourth quarter, as the Miami Heat ran away for a 121-95 win over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night.
Butler finished with 23 points to lead seven Miami players in double figures, plus added eight rebounds, eight assists and three steals to the Heat's tally — which won for just the second time in their last seven home games. Terry Rozier scored 18 while Tyler Herro and All-Star Bam Adebayo each scored 14 for Miami.
