After five strong days of camp at Keiser University in West Palm Beach, the HEAT returned home and put on a show for the fans in the Red, White &amp; Pink Game presented by Miami Cancer Institute at Baptist Health South Florida. Below are some takeaways from the action.

Although Jimmy Butler lived up to his moniker and got buckets early on, he also did the little things and showed great activity on both ends of the floor.
Whether it was creating second-chance opportunities for his teammates on the offensive glass or deflecting passes and finishing plays on the other end, Butler got the job done.

In all, the 30-year-old vet had nine points on 3-of-3 shooting, five rebounds and five assists.

Simply put, Meyers Leonard can flat out shoot the ball.

That was evident throughout the contest, as Leonard spaced the floor and drilled four treys. Of course, the 27-year-old also set great screens both on and off the ball.

When it was all said and done, Leonard tallied 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting, four boards, two steals and an assist.

While we’re on the topic of shooting, let’s get into Duncan Robinson, shall we?

The former Michigan Wolverine not only led all players with 17 points, but he also paced the squad with five made threes. And although a decent amount of his shots were spot-ups, he moved very well off the ball to get open on his other looks.

Robinson finished with five assists and two rebounds to go along with his aforementioned 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including 5-of-11 from beyond the arc.

-Bam Adebayo finished plays inside and kept the ball moving as usual, but his biggest impact came on the defensive end where he contested shots very well on the perimeter. In fact, he blocked a three-point attempt from Tyler Herro in the second quarter.

Adebayo ended up with 14 points on 7-of-11 shooting, four rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks.

-To nobody’s surprise, Justise Winslow did a little bit of everything and remained versatile as always.

Well, he displayed poise with the ball in his hands, kept things under control and cashed treys.

The 23-year-old out of Duke recorded 11 points on 3-of-4 shooting, four rebounds and four assists.

-Rookie KZ Okpala had an impressive spurt at the end of the first quarter where he broke down his man for a pull-up mid-range jumper, finished a dunk despite Chris Silva coming from behind and had a “pick-six” steal and score.

Okpala, who showed the ability to switch on the perimeter as well, concluded with seven points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals.

-Kelly Olynyk (right knee bruise) and James Johnson (conditioning) did not play.

HEAT To Host “Red, White & Pink” Game

The Miami HEAT hosted the Red, White &amp; Pink Game presented by Miami Cancer Institute at Baptist Health South Florida Monday night at AmericanAirlines Arena. Below are some takeaways from the action.

While Hassan Whiteside has solidified himself as the clear-cut starter at center, Willie Reed has all the makings of a solid backup. On Monday, both guys went at it and put on a show for the fans.

In fact, Reed threw down two thunderous alley-oop jams in the first half. The first slam was assisted by Brianté Weber, while the second one came courtesy of Derrick Williams.

Throughout the contest, Reed played stout defense and remained very active around the rim. The 26-year-old finished with 12 points, four rebounds and a block on 6-of-7 shooting.

Whiteside, meanwhile, continued to attack from all over the floor like he has all preseason. That was great, but he really gave the fans a treat early on in the third quarter.

It was at that point when Whiteside came up with a loose ball and ran the break. After a few dribbles, the big man proceeded to find Weber, who then found James Johnson for the easy finish inside.

Whiteside led all scorers with 16 points to go along with 11 rebounds and three blocks.

After a little bit of a slow start to the preseason, Tyler Johnson had a strong outing in the Red, White &amp; Pink Game. The 24-year-old mixed things up with some pull-up jumpers and tough finishes in traffic.

Otherwise, Johnson did a nice job of setting up his teammates throughout the night.  In all, he tallied 15 points and three rebounds on 5-of-9 shooting on Monday.

Even though Derrick Williams played well through the first two quarters, he really started to come alive in the second half. In fact, the former Arizona Wildcat scored 9 of his 12 points after halftime. During the barrage, the forward knocked down a few jumpers before attacking the basket and throwing down a one-handed jam late in the fourth quarter. Above all else though, Williams showed how gifted he is as a playmaker.

In addition to his 12 points, the 25-year-old also grabbed seven rebounds and dished out three assists.

-As usual, Rodney McGruder did all the dirty work and competed hard on both ends. Early on in the fourth quarter, the former Kansas State Wildcat came up with a heads-up steal, which resulted in a slam for Okaro White on the other end. Shortly thereafter, McGruder picked Justise Winslow’s pocket from behind.

On the flip side of the ball, the 25-year-old ran well off screens and cut to the rack with purpose. In total, McGruder had nine points and two boards in the scrimmage.

-Stefan Janković (sprained right foot), Josh McRoberts (right foot), Josh Richardson (right MCL sprain) and Dion Waiters (back tightness) all sat out.
