Jimmy Butler Wows Embiid, Twitter by Scoring 56 as Heat Beat Giannis, Bucks in Game 4

Not LeBron James. Not Dwyane Wade. Not Alonzo Mourning.

But Jimmy Butler.

The six-time All-Star put the Miami Heat on his back and set a playoff franchise record with 56 points in Monday's 119-114 victory in Game 4 of his team's first-round playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks. Miami now leads 3-1 and is one win away from eliminating the Eastern Conference's No. 1 seed.

NBA Twitter had nothing but love for Butler during an all-time performance:
