In this story:

The Miami Heat have won the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, and lead the Boston Celtics 2-0 heading back to Miami for Games 3 and 4. Miami continues to defy the odds, having escaped the play-in tournament as the 8th seed, and now sitting just two wins from the NBA Finals.

The story of Friday night's game was Jimmy Butler vs. Grant Williams. After Williams and Butler exchanged words with 6:22 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Heat star took over down the stretch, targeting Williams on defense and scoring with ease. Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green reacted to this development on Twitter:

Butler has been dominant this entire postseason, adding perhaps the most impressive chapter of his "Playoff Jimmy" legacy. If the Heat can defeat Boston and make the NBA Finals, it will be one of the most impressive runs in NBA history. Butler has this Heat team on a mission, and he showed in Game 2 just how locked in he and this group are.

Following this Game 2 victory, the NBA world is talking about Williams helping ignite Butler, who is already one of the league's most clutch players. Draymond Green clearly believes Williams should know better than to exchange words with Butler, and he has a point. The Heat forward went off down the stretch, targeting Williams each trip down.
