Butler’s bucket put him at 40 points for the game, making him the first player in franchise history to have consecutive 40-point performances.

This game added another legendary display to add to his list of outstanding postseason performances. Butler denies the existence of “Playoff Jimmy,” but the rest of us experience it on full display. Miami became just the sixth No. 8 seed to upset the top team in NBA history.

They play the New York Knicks in the conference semifinals.
