Butler had 25 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists on the night. His late-game buckets in regulation and overtime resembled his last shot in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Celtics star Jaylen Brown also shined with a 37-point performance, including the 3-pointer to send the game into overtime.

Heat were not impressed with Brown’s shot, calling it lucky.

That shot was so fake bruh. But that was crazy

While Brown had an impressive night, Jayson Tatum’s scoring performance wasn’t as good. Tatum barely shot the ball until the second half, and finished the game 5 of 18 from the field with just 14 points.

Tatum is a frontrunner for MVP this season but got no love from Heat fans.

Miami had four players score at least 20 points in the victory. Fans are hoping to maintain these collaborative performances down the stretch.

If our big 4 shows up like this every game we are a top 3 seed and a finals contender. Just imagine what this looks like with 15-20 off the bench from a healthy Oladipo 🔥
