Jimmy Butler's Viral Instagram Post After Celtics-Heat Game

Jimmy Butler made a post to Instagram after the Miami Heat beat the Boston Celtics in Game 3.

On Sunday evening, the Miami Heat defeated the Boston Celtics by a score of 128-102 (on their home floor) in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

With the victory, the Heat now have a commanding 3-0 lead in the series and Game 4 will be on Tuesday night in Miami. 

If they are able to pull off another win, the Heat will advance to the NBA Finals for the second time in the previous three seasons.

Jimmy Butler has been sensational during the 2023 Playoffs, and he had 16 points, eight rebounds, six assists and two steals in 31 minutes of playing time (during Game 3).

On Monday, the six-time NBA All-Star made a post to Instagram with photos and clips from the game.

His post went viral and had over one million likes and 11,000 comments in 14 hours. 

Butler captioned the post: "five"

Butler is in his fourth season playing for the Heat, and he has led them to the Playoffs every year.   

They are also in the Conference Finals for the third time in that span. 

This season, they are the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, but they have had impressive victories over the Milwaukee Bucks (the first seed) and the New York Knicks (the fifth seed) through the first two rounds. 

Whoever wins the series will advance to the NBA Finals to face off against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets (who eliminated the Los Angeles Lakers in a sweep on Monday night).
