It’s been quite the year for Spencer Dinwiddie, one that included a trade from the Detroit Pistons to the Bulls after he’d spent considerable time playing in Grand Rapids in the D-league. Then there was being waived by the Bulls to accommodate their free agent signings last July, summer league in Las Vegas, then resigned by the Bulls after that, …

It wasn’t exactly a religious experience in Miami Thursday, though many came to worship former Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade. And Wade did admit he said a little prayer and, in the end, Jimmy Butler delivered.

No one’s calling it Tajy-woo ball, but that’s also what it is. Throwing ahead, running the court, passing and finishing strong.
