The Green Army takes on the Heat
Without the help of the team's star Butler, the Miami Heat's first-round playoff series still showed a hint of the temperament of the Black Eight team.

Of course, in the last three games, the Green Army still have some advantages, taking a big 2-1 lead and having a better chance of advancing to the second round.

In addition to the amazing White, Tatum also has 20 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, as well as Brown, who scored 17 points.
On the other hand, the Heat, who lost at home, did not have the help of the team's star Butler or the new signing Rozier to relieve the pressure, and the team was a complete defeat. Herro only delivered 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in nearly 44 minutes, and although Adebayo had a luxury double-double of 25 points, 17 rebounds and 5 assists, he could only be powerless. In addition, Martin Jr., who started the game, also entered the empty slashing group with 18 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
