Andrew Wiggins ended the Miami Heat’s 10-game losing streak with a dominant scoring night.
Trading Jimmy Butler turned out to be a terrible decision for the Miami Heat. Prior to taking on the Charlotte Hornets in their most recent matchup, the Heat were facing a 10-game skid.
Considering the team’s morale seemed at an all-time low this season, Andrew Wiggins decided to take things into his own hands against the Hornets.
Wiggins went on a scoring outburst as he led the team to a 122-105 win over their Eastern Conference opponent.
Wiggins finished the night with 42 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists in just 35 minutes of playing time. After seeing the 2022 NBA champion’s performance, many fans decided to make a Golden State Warriors point on social media.
“Warriors held him back.”
“Straight hooping.”
“Curry really held him back bro.”
“Cooking in Miami I see.”
“Warriors got rid of him but kept Kuminga.”
“We should’ve traded Buddy Hield instead of Wiggins,” added one Warriors fan.
Most NBA fans think that the Warriors made a mistake by trading Wiggins for Butler. While Wiggs has been great in a Heat uniform, Butler is certainly playing for a more balanced team.
This can be proven by the fact that the Heat are barely a Play-In Tournament team while the Warriors are competing for a top-six seed in the West.
Wiggins has turned things around since the trade, at least for himself. After all, he recently found himself in LeBron James company that even Jimmy Butler couldn’t be for the Heat.
Wiggs is in great form ahead of an important matchup as the Heat are scheduled to host the Warriors at the Kaseya Center next.
While the majority of the focus will be on Butler’s first game in Miami, fans should keep an eye on Wiggins as well. After all, he’s in great form and could very well go off for a memorable performance against his former team.
