On Saturday night, the Miami Heat (34-26) defeated the Utah Jazz (27-34) 126-120 after overturning a halftime deficit.
Here are five key conclusions to consider:
1. Jimmy Butler seized command of the close win.
With a stat line of 37 points and seven assists on 63.2 percent shooting, including three of three from beyond the arc, the 34-year-old guided Miami to victory. During the second half, he was quite impressive, scoring 25 points on 9 of 14 shots.
Given that the Heat are now ranked sixth in the East, it is evident that Butler wants to force them out of the Play-In Tournament.
