Heat vs. Spurs Takeaways: Jimmy Butler Records Triple-Double In Comfortable Victory

A look at five of the biggest takeaways from the Miami Heat's win against the San Antonio Spurs

The Miami Heat earned their fourth win in five games Wednesday with a 116-104 victory aganst the San Antonio Spurs.

Here's a look at five major takeaways:

1. Jimmy Butler's offensive game is near impossible to neutralize.

The night marked his 16th career triple-double, which demonstrated a horde of his strengths. Butler consistently forced Spurs defenders into fouls while patience allowed him to score regardless of the defender on him. He used timing to knock down shots outside the paint against taller opponents while he overpowered the Spurs' guards near the basket. He concluded the game with 17 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, and three steals on 41.7 percent shooting.

2. Tyler Herro controlled the tempo on offense.

Herro filled the box score with 24 points, seven assists, and six rebounds, but it doesn't do justice to his masterful evening. He connected with big man Bam Adebayo on multiple occasions in the pick-and-roll. He also found open shots of his own from the threat of dishing to the All-Star center. Not to mention, Adebayo had a fulfilling night of his own with 20 points on 71.4 percent shooting. Herro shot 66.7 percent and 4 of 7 from three-point range.

3. Victor Wembanyama has all the tools to become an NBA superstar.

It may sound obvious for the 7-foot-4 No. 1 pick, but Wembanyama showcased every aspect needed for success. He finished the night with 18 points and 13 rebounds on 53.8 percent shooting. Adebayo was physical with him early on, leading to a pair of three-pointers early in the third quarter. In one-on-one situations, it is near impossible to prevent Wembanyama from reaching the basket. The ability to adjust to the defense opposite him will lead to endless opportunities to thrive down the road.

4. Terry Rozier's shooting woes overpowered playmaking opportunities.

It was a frustrating outing for Rozier, who recorded 13 points and five assists on 5 of 15 shooting. The evening could have brought triumph if the former Charlotte Hornet had passed on some of his shots. He would often find himself in the mid-range with separation, but an additional pass would have led to open looks. Rozier is hoping to find rhythm with his new team with patience, but has yet to do so.

5. The Heat's bench displayed varying levels of production.

Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Josh Richardson, and Kevin Love saw more than 15 minutes of action. Despite this, the contributors had major successes and hardships. Robinson's shooting slump continued with six points on 1 of 6 shooting from the arc. Jaquez finds himself in a margin of struggle since returning from injury, but picked it up in the second half. Love missed a multitude of open shots from three-point range. Richardson was one of the few bright spots off the bench, tallying nine points and four rebounds with mediocre efficiency.
