The pettiness displayed by Bam Adebayo on his head after Wednesday night’s victory over sidelined Jimmy Butler and the Golden State Warriors? “I’m not that petty,” Adebayo

Adebayo was a difference-maker in his much-awaited return to action, as he scored 20 points and pulled down seven boards, as the Heat improved to 9-6 in the season. Newcomer Norman Powell continued to wax hot for Miami, as he scored 26 points and grabbed six boards.

Golden State visited the Heat on Wednesday, and with Curry, Green and Butler sidelined, they fell 110-96. To add fuel to the fire for Heat fans who've yet to forgive Butler for his, well, Butlerness, Adebayo wore a hat that read "Joy Dealer" postgame, with many viewing it as shade to his former teammate.
