Butler fuels Heat

Victor Oladipo finally made his Miami debut, and the Heat ensured it was a memorable one.

Jimmy Butler scored 22 points, Duncan Robinson scored 21 and the Heat held off Golden State 116-109 on Thursday night.

Tyler Herro scored 20 points, Bam Adebayo had 19, Trevor Ariza added 10 and Andre Iguodala — the 2015 NBA Finals MVP for Golden State — had 10 in the fourth quarter to help seal the win.

Stephen Curry finished with 36 points and 11 rebounds for the Warriors.

Nets 111, Hornets 89 — Jeff Green outscored Charlotte by himself in the first quarter before finishing with 21 points, and the Nets got a strong debut from LaMarcus Aldridge in a rout of the Hornets.

Aldridge started at center and had 11 points, nine rebounds and six assists, looking like a fit for a Nets team that won for the 20th time in its last 23 games.

Pistons 120, Wizards 91 —

Josh Jackson scored 19 of his season-high 31 points in the first half and the Detroit Pistons went on to rout the Washington Wizards.

The Pistons overcame Russell Westbrook’s 18th triple-double of the season. Westbrook finished with 16 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds.

76ers 114, Cavaliers 94 —

Shake Milton scored 27 points, Dwight Howard had 18 points and 15 rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers finished a six-game road trip without injured star center Joel Embiid by beating the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Seth Curry made five 3-pointers and scored 19 points, and Milton’s scoring off the bench helped offset an off night for Ben Simmons, who went just 2 of 11 from the floor but had 13 rebounds.
