Since a 12-3 start that has proven to be a heaping haul of fool's gold, the Golden State Warriors have lost two out of every three games over the last two months with a bottom-five offense and bottom-10 defense.

Butler was informed at shootaround that he would come off the bench behind Haywood Highsmith in this game, which prompted Butler to walk out of shootaround. From there, the Heat suspended Butler “indefinitely,” a story broken by Shams Charania of The Athletic and since confirmed by the team.
