The Miami Heat are in the middle of a six-game winning streak, and it shows in the atmosphere within the locker room.

Jimmy Butler scored 32 points on Tuesday to help the Heat defeat the Charlotte Hornets. Following the triumph, Butler and Bam Adebayo told Bally Sports Sun what they think has been the cause of their recent success.

Butler remarked, “We’ve been scoring more points than the other team.”

Butler was yelling after the humorous answer to a faraway comment. His expression might make for another widely shared image.

Adebayo is dominating on both ends of the floor this season. He is averaging 10.4 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 1.2 steals, and 23.2 points. When the same topic was posed to Butler, it was evident that the two had identical points of view.Adebayo uttered the words “We’re winning” and then a humorous expression.

In spite of the humor, the All-Stars responded honestly. Adebayo acknowledged Miami’s defensive gains, and Butler commended his colleagues.As the third seed in the Eastern Conference, the club has a great sense of confidence. Miami consistently finds ways to win despite having one of the lowest points per game averages in the league. Their ability to manage the ball—they have committed fewer than eight turnovers in their last two games—is a big contributing factor.

On Thursday night, Mikal Bridges and the Brooklyn Nets visit the Heat.
