As Jimmy Butler rumors swirl, Heat still demand attention on the court

Although the Miami Heat did not see much success last week -- one win in four games -- there were still some noteworthy moments that the Heat provided. Here are some key highlights that stood out during that stretch.

Best dunk: Bam Adebayo's acrobatic alley-oop

In the Heat's lone win of the week against the San Antonio Spurs, Bam Adebayo arguably had the best alley-oop of the season, and it was only right that the pass came from the player he has the most chemistry with, Duncan Robinson.

After Robinson managed to get in the paint, he threw up a lob to Adebayo who at first had his left hand up with the ball coming to him. While still in the air, Adebayo changed his mind about which arm he wanted to use and reached as high as he could to viciously dunk the ball.

Adebayo has shown the ability to go up and get lobs, and this is the most recent example of him showing that he can be trusted to finish a lob even if the degree of difficulty is extremely high.

Best move of the week: Haywood Highsmith shakes off LeBron James

If you were to tell any Heat fan a few years ago to guess the result of Haywood Highsmith attempting a driving layup against LeBron James, many answers would probably be that Highsmith's shot would get sent to the third row.

But Highsmith has shown improvement every season, and this basket against the Los Angeles Lakers highlights his growth. With James playing tight defense and forcing a drive, Highsmith aggressively attacked the basket and put a spin move on James that had him lost.

One thing that cannot be taken away from the Heat is how they develop drafted and undrafted players, with Highsmith once being out of the rotation completely to becoming a fan favorite.

Funniest quote of the week: Tyler Herro's comments on Stephon Castle's defense

It's well known that Tyler Herro has been the Heat's best offensive player by a pretty wide margin this season, and it is being shown by the way he is being defended. Against the Spurs, rookie Stephon Castle constantly picked up Herro full court and face guarded him nonstop.

When asked about Castle's defense postgame, Herro made some funny comments on how he was being guarded.

“He was picking me up on the driveway. When I got out of my car, he was waiting on me," Herro said.

It's truly amazing to see teams defend Herro as they would another scoring superstar. Herro has seen multiple double teams, blitzes off screens and was even face-guarded most of the game vs San Antonio.

Herro's leap has definitely made teams take notice, and the best part about this season for Herro is that he is finding counters to these defenses and is having an All-Star caliber year.
