How many points did Jimmy Butler score vs. Heat in return to Miami?

The best storyline in the NBA this season
What is the NBA best storyline this season? There are plenty of good ones to choose from! The FTH make their picks here.
It was not the revenge game Jimmy Butler wanted.
Making his return to Miami after five-and-a-half seasons with the Heat, Butler’s Golden State Warriors dropped their second consecutive game Tuesday night and third out of their last five, 112-86.
The game was so out of hand that Butler sat half of the fourth quarter, with Miami continuing to build on its lead.
“The main part about Jimmy’s return to Miami is that the Heat were ready,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after the game.
The Warriors were playing their second game without All-Star guard Stephen Curry, who is working his way back from a pelvic contusion.
Here’s everything you need to know about Butler’s return to Miami:
How many points did Jimmy Butler score vs. Miami Heat?
In what ended up being a frustrating, turnover-filled night for the Warriors, Butler finished with only 11 points on 5-of-12 shooting and added six rebounds and two assists.
Nine of Butler’s points came in the third quarter as Golden State was trying to make a run to narrow its deficit. Butler had just two points on 1-of-6 shooting in the first half, as each Warriors starter had accounted for just two points apiece headed into intermission.
For most of the game, as his defensive assignments, Butler drew Heat forward Bam Adebayo, the team’s premier defender, and Haywood Highsmith, a reserve forward also known to be a stopper.
Butler did make his first attempt of the game, getting to the lane and bodying Heat guard Tyler Herro before he laced a one-handed push shot. It was Golden State’s first points of the night and ended a 7-0 Miami run to start the game.
After the game, Butler was cordial and complimentary of his years with the Heat organization.
“It takes me back to some good times when I was wearing a Miami Heat jersey,” he said. “Very appreciative of those times. They helped me become the player I am in this league, the individual that I am in this league, teammate, leader, all of those things, and I don’t think I could be who I am today without my opportunity here.”
According to the TNT’s Taylor Rooks, however, Butler said before the game that “I have nothing to say to Pat, and Pat better have nothing to say to me” when Rooks asked what Butler would do if he ran into Heat president Pat Riley.
How did Miami Heat players welcome Jimmy Butler?
Butler did catch up with at least one of his former teammates prior to tip-off. At one point, TNT cameras showed Butler coming from behind to surprise Heat forward Kevin Love, before the pair shared a short conversation, laughing and smiling throughout.
Once the game ended, Butler greeted a couple of people sitting courtside near the Warriors bench, but went into the locker room without exchanging words with his previous teammates.
All-Star guard Tyler Herro, one of Butler’s Heat teammates for the entire time that Butler was in Miami, said that he did not have any pre- or post-game conversations with Butler.
“It was my first time playing him, but it was a normal game, it felt like,” Herro said.
The Heat shot a blistering 17-of-25 (68%) from 3-point range and played controlled defense, which coach Erik Spoelstra said was the result of his team’s attention to detail.
“You don’t want to become too emotional,” Spoelstra said after the game. “I did not feel like we were too hyped up at all. It was more laser focused on the competition and competing at a high level and playing well. That’s the fine line you always need to find in team sports.”
How did Miami Heat fans welcome Jimmy Butler?
Butler was introduced pre-game by public address announcer Michael Baiamonte in a cadence that was only slightly more subdued than the way he was introduced when he was a member of the Heat. Although there was a smattering of boos, Butler was received, for the most part, by adulating fans, many of whom gave Butler a standing ovation.
The Heat also played a short tribute video moments before Butler was introduced to the crowd at the Kaseya Center.
Once the game started, however, fans booed Butler every time he touched the ball.
What happened during Jimmy Butler’s time with the Miami Heat?
Because of his gritty play and clutch performances, Butler became a fan favorite over his five-and-a-half seasons in Miami. He was twice named an All-Star during that span and led Miami to a pair of NBA Finals appearances.
The relationship soured, however. The Heat suspended Butler several times this season for “multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team.”
The Heat traded Butler Feb. 5 in a multi-team deal that brought back Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson and draft picks to Miami.
Upon being traded to the Warriors, Butler inked a two-year, $121 million extension with the Warriors.

‘He has a gun’: 911 calls reveal moments before Miami-Dade deputy’s battery arrest

New 911 calls are revealing the moments before a Miami-Dade Sheriff’s deputy was arrested on kidnapping and battery charges following an incident with his girlfriend.
Terrance Dion Chester, 28, was arrested by Broward Sheriff’s deputies in Pompano Beach and booked into jail Thursday morning.

According to an arrest report, Chester repeatedly struck his girlfriend and mother of his child, and when she tried to get away, he allegedly grabbed her by the hair and dragged her back into the couple’s house, pulling out a gun at one point.
“There’s a woman being beat on somebody and he has a gun, I don’t know if that’s her boyfriend or what,” a caller tells a dispatcher in one of the calls. “He’s swinging her around ma’am.”
Multiple neighbors apparently witnessed the incident as it unfolded late Wednesday night.
“The gate was wide open and we seen the lady on the floor begging for help,” one says in one of the calls. “She’s getting hit on for sure. She’s obviously not able to get far because he’s already pulling out guns and stuff.”
The victim’s sister also called 911 at one point.
“They have a 2-year-old baby and that baby is in the house,” she said in the call.
Broward Sheriff’s deputies arrived and said they were able to take the gun away from Chester.
Chester went before a judge on Friday, where his bond was set at $90,000.
During the aparance, his defense attorney mentioned Chester had no priopr criminal history, and at one point downplayed the kidnapping allegation.
“So basically the kidnapping is going from just outside the residence to inside the residence where she is let go and she is free to go outside,” the attorney said.
The prosecutor asked the judge to keep Chester locked up.
“The victim was dragged back into the home, there was a small child in the home. Thankfully she was able to escape from the home with the child and contacting law enforcement. If she were unable to, it’s concerning where this could’ve gone,” the prosecutor said.
Chester later posted the bond. When he leaves jail he’ll have to wear a GPS monitor, will be on house arrest, and is prohibited from contacting the alleged victim or having weapons.
Chester, who’s been with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office for five years, was relieved of duty but is still an employee for now.
“I am deeply troubled and angered by the arrest of one of my deputies on serious domestic related charges. This conduct is completely unacceptable and stands in direct violation of our values and the law,” Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said in a statement. “I want to make it absolutely clear; no one is above the law! The safety and wellbeing of victims will always take priority, and any member of this agency who violates the trust of this community or their oath of service will be held fully accountable. The deputy is currently relieved of duty. There is no place for violence in this profession or in our homes.”

Robinson has hinted at where he is likely landing as the Fighting Irish holds the outstanding weight advantage in his recruiting process. Moreover, the Hurricanes just flipped two SEC commits to play for UM in Tyran Evans and Vance Spafford. Those two alone should be enough to overlook missing out on Robinson, who has the Irish on his mind.
