Jimmy Butler scored 27 points, Bam Adebayo added 23 points and 14 rebounds and the Miami Heat moved over .500 by topping the Los Angeles Lakers 112-98 on Wednesday night.
Tyler Herro had 18 points and nine assists for the Heat . Caleb Martin scored 13 points and Gabe Vincent added 12.
Even without point guard Kyle Lowry, who missed the game for personal reasons, the Heat were almost flawless when it came to taking care of the basketball. Through three quarters, they had four turnovers to the Lakers' 19 — and had a staggering 25-0 edge in points off those turnovers in that span.The Heat led by 22 points at one point, their third-largest margin of the season and the biggest since Oct. 26.
The Lakers cut the lead to seven late in the fourth, before Herro connected on a left-wing 3-pointer with 2:01 to restore a double-digit lead. Miami got a stop on the Lakers' next possession, and on the ensuing Heat trip Butler went down the lane for an easy layup with 1:15 remaining and that sealed the win.The Lakers fell to 14-21. It's the second-worst record for any of James' teams through 35 games; Cleveland started 11-24 in his rookie season of 2003-04.
