On Saturday, the Miami Heat scored a great victory to build confidence over the 96-94 Los Angeles Lakers.
Although Jimmy Butler had a strong game for Miami’s victory, he was criticized by TV personality Colin Cowherd for the ViceVersa team uniforms they wore.
Jimmy Butler deserves a better uniform than the one he was forced to wear tonight.

The Heat has been fighting for much of the season, although they have shown some signs of improvement lately, as they get closer and closer to full strength.
Butler had 24 points, while point guard Kendrick Nunn played one of his best games of the season with 27 points of efficiency.
To be fair, Heat had the help of Laker starters Anthony Davis and Dennis Schroder, who were both unable to play.
Still, each victory is a big help for the Heat at this point. They are 13-17 and are close to entering the Eastern Conference playoff game.
More wins like Saturday’s against good and excellent teams will help the Heat feel they have recovered the mojo that helped them unexpectedly reach the NBA finals just a few months ago.
