The Heat's Butler and Adebayor have no tacit understanding when they reached the Finals, and over the past two seasons, the Heat have gradually become mediocre, without top superstars, they will be muted in key games.

The first game between the two teams, played very fiercely, wonderfully, let people be addicted, the second game, can the two teams maintain their own rhythm, play their own characteristics? The Grizzlies are better at resilience and spirit than the Timberwolves, and Morant will lead the team to defend the home field.
