Stars were out in the NBA tonight. Carl Anthony Town, Shea Gildes, Alexander, and Najee Marshall were hooping. But before any of that, Jimmy Butler back in Miami and continuing to not play very well in South Beach. A lot coming today on Locked-on NBA game night.

When that final buzzer rings, you know it's time for Locked-on NBA Game Night.

All the post-game reactions to every game across the league, every single night.

With insights only the hosts that Locked-on can provide.

It's the true NBA fans one-stop for all the actions.

Every game, every night.

It's Locked-on NBA Game Night, tipping off now.

So, everybody, happy Tuesday, and welcome to Lockdown NBA Game Now, where you get the latest and greatest from around the association.

Awesome night in the league, two top three teams at each conference suiting up.

Carl Towns, amazing.

Shea Gilgis Alexander, amazing.

The grizzly stars were enough.

So much fun hoops. And yet the star of the show was Jimmy Butler returning to Miami. We have a lot to dive into today.

And thankfully, one of us was there. Tony East here, host of lockdown Pacers and joining me as we do every single week here on Lockdown NBA Game Night on Wednesdays from Lockdown Heat in the building as Jimmy Butler triumphantly. Just kidding. No triumph about it.

Returned to Miami. It's West Goldberg West. Take me to the Casillas Center. Did I say that right?

What happened? First of all, yes, you said it right. Congrats.

It was a highly anticipated game, but sometimes with these things, you don't know if it's going to live up to the height.

I don't know that the game itself lived up to the height, but the game itself was also so secondary to everything that was going on,

that everything was so raw between

the heat and the and jimmy butler right like this wasn't even clay thompson coming back to

golden state like you had a whole offseason to kind of get over of that um it was a little bit

different even than lebron going back to cleveland or kevin Durant going back to OKC.
