NEW: During a timeout, tensions flare between Butler, Haslem, and Spoelstra. Conclusions and Details on the Heat’s Loss to the Warriors miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… – 22:11
Let me guess: Spo, Haslem and Jimmy will say that the fight was “just in the heat of the moment”, “sometimes the temper escalates”, “this happens on every team” and … – 22:07
I hate being that guy right now
But find someone to watch your back the way Udonis Haslem has Erik Spoelstra’s back. 22:07
The Butler-Haslem-Spoelstra brawl on the Heat bench was part of an ugly night in the Warriors’ 118–104 loss. sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h… – 22:05
In March 2016, there was a game in which the Heat thrashed the Cavs and LeBron fell out with Dee Wade at halftime. Cleveland went on to win it all. Watching Jimmy Butler and Eric Spoelstra while the Heath rows reminds me of that. – 22:04
Basically, what seems to be the reaction of the entire Miami Heat was to Jimmy Butler in the crowd: pic.twitter.com/UIor6bn7Pd – 22:03
Who would have thought that the story of Jokic and Markiff would not end the season as an event that would inspire most of Udonis Haslem’s fanfiction on Twitter!! – 22:02

Jimmy Butler has always been that kind of dude. We praised him for the trick he pulled in Minnesota, but then he was a punk too. What will the story be like this time? Besides, nothing is more enjoyable than watching #HeatCulture one of his own gets in. – 21:52
I know a lot has been said about Udonis Haslem and Jimmy Butler screaming at each other and holding back, but Erik Spoelstra was the hottest of them all. When Spo threw his notebook on the floor and the papers flew, it was on #HeatCulture. pic.twitter.com/hbRhZtjapC – 21:47
So, to recap. Draw 50-50 at halftime. The Warriors go 19-0 to 69-50. Then Haslem and Butler get down to business. Now the heat in the range of 81-80 is in fourth place. Bananas. – 21:24
Haslem is clearly seething. Remained in a chair on the edge of the bench as the Heat of the Rally. – 21:17
This time Haslem is out of timeout. Markiff Morris instead takes on the crowd before Spoelstra enters. – 21:14
Udonis Haslem ranks pretty high on the list of guys I wouldn’t want to mess with. Teammates or not. – 21:12
Players only huddle together during the timeout after Butler and Haslem’s argument. Coaches do not even meet, but simply give them the opportunity to speak. However, Haslem and Butler did not speak to each other. pic.twitter.com/pYtq5nuA0y – 21:11
Udonis Haslem and Jimmy Butler just needed to disperse into the crowd during the last timeout. Hot temper right now. – 21:08

Udonis Haslem was simply physically restrained from pursuing Jimmy Butler, with Butler pointing back furiously. – 21:04
Halftime: Heat 50, Warriors 50. Jimmy Butler with 15 points, three rebounds and two assists. Kyle Lowry with 13 points and three assists. The Warriors loiter around, despite the absence of Curry, Green, and Thompson. – 20:41
Here is an interesting composition.
Jimmy Butler with Duncan/Strous and Morris/Tucker
Gives Jimmy space, but is creativity enough? – 20:01
Of the 274 players who entered the field today with at least 90 three-point attempts, Jimmy Butler finished last with an 18.5 three-point percentage.
Butler is 2 out of 2 tonight. The Heat opened 5 out of 8 on triples. – 19:59
Jimmy Butler had already equaled his season record for triples made in a game with two. The Glow leads 13-8. – 19:50

This team’s spacing is flawless with elite sharpshooter Jimmy Butler – 19:49
Jimmy Butler has 2 out of 2 in triples and 0 out of 3 in paint. – 19:49

He’s been 2-for-2 for 3 since then.
Please. – 19:49
Jimmy Butler makes a triple to open the game. His 18th total spanned three seasons. – 19:43

Anthony Chang: Udonis Haslem just got suspended from Jimmy Butler. And Eric Spoelstra was also unhappy with Butler at that time out. -across Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / March 23, 2022 Wes Goldberg: Jimmy Butler and Udonis Haslem argue outside the Heat bench during a timeout. Tensions are high after the Warriors lost 13-0 to start Q3. pic.twitter.com/lxnFJPFfn9 – via Twitter @wcgoldberg / March 23, 2022 “I need different things that I compete in just to level myself up,” said Jimmy Butler. “Too much good is always bad. I live it. So I try to take it in parts, day after day, realizing that I keep the main thing, the main thing – basketball. I really want to win the championship. We all know this. I want to be healthy. We all know this. But if I’m too withdrawn, I forget everything else, everyone else. And I don’t want to do that.” – via The Associated Press / March 23, 2022
