As the Golden State Warriors faced reigning the Eastern Conference Champions, Miami Heat in their latest encounter, Stephen Curry and Kent Bazemore led the team with 25 and season-high 26 points respectively. The match went into Over Time, wherein the Warriors carried their momentum from the 4th quarter to outscore Miami Heat 15-7. Stephen Curry scored a double-double with 11 rebounds as well. 

Talking about the Miami Heat, their leader Jimmy Butler recorded his second straight triple-double with 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. Kendrick Nunn knocked 19 for Heat. Curry was 3 for 11 in the first half, missing eight of his nine 3-point tries. He finished 5 of 20 from long range as Golden State went 18 for 52 and got outrebounded 50-45.

Kent Bazemore had a follow shot with 1:32 left for one of his two big baskets in OT and finished with a season-high 26 points — his second 20-point performance this season. 

Eric Paschall scored back-to-back baskets to pull the Warriors as close as 99-96 with 3:37 to play in regulation as Miami called timeout. Curry’s 3 at 2:26 made it 103-101 then he stole the ball from Butler on the other end moments later. Bazemore made consecutive hoops to tie it with 52 seconds remaining. Kelly Oubre Jr. missed a 3 for the win. 

Andre Iguodala received a nice welcome back when he checked into the game for the first time in the final two minutes of the opening quarter. He then scored 10 points against his old team. The 2015 NBA Finals MVP did a little bit of everything in six seasons for the Warriors from 2013-19. 

“That’s why Andre will always be one of my favorites just his selflessness and willingness to do whatever it takes to win a game,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said as per ESPN.
