But considering how things played out on the night, the\u00a0Miami Heat\u00a0should have won.<\/p>\n<p>The Heat were leading by 15 points at one point in the game but collapsed once again, as the Suns ultimately won 115-112.<\/p>\n<p>The Heat had the last possession of the game and even got a decent chance to take it to overtime. But\u00a0Jimmy Butler\u00a0made a bizarre decision with the ball in his hands and the clock ticking down.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\" data-zone-count=\"3\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-loaded\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-3fe4165110214beb82078b9a8cd74784\" data-google-query-id=\"CLjX9aLTy4kDFXHIFgUdj5YagA\" data-ad-size=\"300x250\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/inside-the-heat_2__container__\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/inside-the-heat_2\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/inside-the-heat_2\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"3\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Butler got a decent enough look from three but with less than a second left on the clock, he decided to pass the ball to\u00a0Tyler Herro\u00a0instead of taking the shot himself.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Herro was having a great scoring night and ended it 5-9 from three.
