BOSTON (CBS) — It was clear that Avery Bradley had a little extra something in the Celtics’ last two wins over the Chicago Bulls.

You can thank Jimmy Butler for that, as it was a bit of trash talk from the Bulls star that gave Bradley a little extra fuel to his fire, helping the Celtics close out the series and advance to the second round.

Word got back to Bradley that Butler let his teammates know that they couldn’t let a guy like Bradley score 20 points.
