Miami without Butler, Denver with Jokic performance. Why Miami won, Denver lost
It's the opposite. The Miami Heat, without Jimmy Butler, laughed after extra-inning bloodshed. The Denver Nuggets, on the other hand, had Nikola Jokic triple-double performance but knelt down.

Miami defeated the Orlando Magic 125-119 in the 2024-2025 NBA regular league held at the Caseya Center in Miami, Florida on the 28th (Korea time).

He won after a second extra-inning battle. Tyler Hiro (30 points, 12 assists) and Bam Adebayo (26 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists) led the offense.




Orlando's one-two punch Franz Wagner (29 points and 8 rebounds) and Paolo Banquero (17 points and 6 assists) who returned from injury struggled, but in the end, they couldn't overcome the overtime crisis.

Miami is in disarray. Before the game, Jimmy Butler was notified of the exclusion of the main lineup and left the team without permission. Miami responded hard. He has been suspended indefinitely this season.

Denver suffered a painful 121-129 upset in the warm-up match against Chicago.




Denver absolute ace and regular league MVP Nikola Jokic achieved his 21st triple-double this season. He scored 33 points, 12 rebounds, and 14 assists while playing 39 minutes and 43 seconds. The field-fighting success rate was 71.4%, with 21 cities and 15 cities.

However, Denver's team didn't have a good momentum. Denver, which led 68-61 in the first half by seven points, allowed a turnaround in the third quarter. In the end, he was dragged around and suffered a come-from-behind defeat.
