Player of the Game: Nicolas Batum, SF, Portland Trail Blazers

Nicolas Batum simply did it all on Thursday night. He scored, got to the charity stripe, crashed the glass, found his open teammates and was disruptive on defense. The fifth-year forward was in the zone.

Up Next for Heat

Miami visits the Sacramento Kings on Saturday. The Kings are currently mired in another losing season, the relationship with star big man DeMarcus Cousins has become frayed and the franchise could be moving to Seattle soon.

Up Next for Trail Blazers

Portland visits the Golden State Warriors on Friday. The Warriors are 22-12 this season, led by David Lee and Stephen Curry, but they've lost their last two contests.
