Jimmy Butler delivers a strong double-double (25 points, 15 rebounds) for the Miami Heat as Miami snapped Boston's five-game winning streak with a 120-116 victory.
Very good analysis, Sherrod. A very nice perspective.
I liked it when Scal, on the broadcast, said “Jimmy Butler is not having a good night. . . But,” that was in the fourth quarter before Jimmy practically won the game single-handedly. At that point Butler had 14 rebounds so I don’t know what the hell Scal was talking about. I think 14 rebounds would be considered a good game.
But wasn’t that one heck of a shot that Brown took to tie the game: that was an illustration of the “I’d rather be lucky than good philosophy.”
That looked to be as close to a 40 footer as I’ve seen in many years.
Looking forward to this test of a road trip they have coming up.
Jimmy Butler is one of the best in the league at laying low for three quarters before totally annihilating you in the fourth. He made big plays at both ends of the floor when it counted. Bam had a good game and Herro was a tough cover, too. But Jimmy B was once again, a late-game problem. Great shot by Jaylen to force overtime, something the Celtics should do their best to try and avoid. Five losses this year, three of which were in overtime. Like you, I'm looking forward to seeing their bounce back against Brooklyn on Sunday.
