Jimmy Butler missed his 4th straight game, and the Atlanta Hawks took advantage of his absence, beating the Miami Heat 120- to 110, handing the Heat their 4th loss in their last six games.
Tyler Herro scored 28 points and dished out 10 assists to lead five players in double-figures for the Heat. Bam Adebayo added 17 points and 10 rebounds.
Jalen Johnson scored 28 points, DeAndre Hunter poured in 26, and Trae Young added 11 points and 15 assists for the Hawks, who have won 3 in a row.
Butler sat out with what the team is calling "game conditioning" issues.
Pat Riley says the Heat will not trade Butler, who reportedly wants out of Miami.
