Butler, Rozier in solid return HEAT BEAT BLAZERS

PORTLAND, Oregon (AP/AFP) - Jimmy Butler had 22 points and nine assists, Terry Rozier scored 19 points and the Miami Heat beat the Portland Trail Blazers 106-96 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight win.

Rozier was one of three players returning to the Miami lineup, playing in his first game since sustaining a knee injury on Feb. 11 against Boston.

"He has an ability to break the defense down, or at least get a defense to overreact," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "When you have multiple guys who are weapons like that, it's good for your offense. I also really respect how much time he put into this to be able to get back and fast-track this." Added Rozier: "Just really no vacation for the (All-Star) break, trying to get back, putting in 2- or 3-a-days at a time. But I feel good.

Credit to the medical staff, they did a great job of making sure I'm back and making sure I'm really fully healthy, making sure we didn't rush nothing. I'm happy to be back."
