Jimmy Butler marked his return with a dominant performance, propelling the Miami Heat to a 106-89 comeback win over the slumping Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night. After sitting out four games with a sprained right ankle, Butler shone with a season-high 30 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists, energizing the Heat on both ends of the floor.
Miami faced a daunting 19-point deficit in the second quarter but staged a dramatic rally, thanks in part to Tyler Herro’s electric third-quarter showing. Herro scored 16 of his 18 points during the pivotal period, helping the Heat secure just their second home victory of the season.
The 76ers were led by rookie Jared McCain, who scored 20 points, and veteran Paul George, who added 18. Joel Embiid, playing through illness, was limited to 11 points, eight rebounds, and five assists as Philadelphia dropped its fourth straight game.
