26/82: December 12 @MIA
A triple-double from RJ Barrett was not enough to challenge Miami.
Final Score: Raptors 104, Heat 114
Despite the triple-double Thursday, RJ Barrett struggled from the field, shooting 5/18 for 13 points.
Gradey Dick’s 22 points were also inefficient as he ended 8/19 from the field. Despite these two being inefficient, the team finished 44.6% from the field, not all that bad overall.
Maybe it was just an off night for him, but Jimmy Butler finished with 11 points on 3/8 shooting with all the trade rumours swirling around. I personally don’t think he’ll get moved, but I’d think Houston if he does.
Question(s) for the Heat: Assuming he stays put before the deadline, will the rumours continue until then? If so, how much will they distract from the team performance?
The Raptors host the Chicago Bulls Monday. 7:30pm tip off.
