The Miami Heat got a colossal victory on Thursday night in their opening contest. While the word “colossal” describes the margin by which they won by, 40 points, it also describes the magnitude of the win for the psyche.

While the Miami Heat would have you to believe that they weren’t thinking about this game in the fashion of a bit of payback, they are human, so they most certainly were and thats, at least, a little bit.

With that though, they came out and they handled their business. The game wasn’t ever really close, as they jumped out to a double-digit lead and had scored 20 points of their own before the Bucks got to four.

While the Miami Heat starters had a huge part in it, the rejuvenation of Jimmy Butler, the playmaking pace of Kyle Lowry, and the newfound but loved aggression of Bam Adebayo, Boy WonderTyler Herro, and the rest of the Miami Heat bench unit had a huge part in it too.
