Leads Miami to win with 24 points Butler closed Saturday's 112-109 win over Toronto with 24 points (7-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 9-11 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes.
Impact Butler didn't record any defensive stats in the victory, but he provided plenty of offense with a team-high 24 points. He did much of his work from the charity stripe, going 9-for-11 from the line. Butler has scored exactly 24 points in two of the Heat's three games this season, and he's averaging 22.0 points, 6.3 boards and 4.3 assists while shooting 47.7 percent from the field and 85.2 percent from the free-throw line.

Posts solid stat line in victory Strus finished Saturday's 112-109 win over Toronto with 20 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 37 minutes.
Impact That Strus tied for the team lead with three triples was no surprise, but he was uncharacteristically effective in other categories as well, recording five boards, three dimes and a pair of blocks. It was the third time in his career that Strus has tallied multiple swats in a game. Strus has bookended a 23-minute, two-point dud with a pair of performances in which he has scored 20-plus points so far this season.
