2020 NBA Finals: Jimmy Butler Explains Telling LeBron James, Lakers ‘You’re In Trouble’

In what was essentially a must-win game for the Miami Heat, Jimmy Butler turned in a historic NBA Finals performance to lead them past the Los Angeles Lakers. Butler capped off his triple-double by shouting “You’re in trouble!” toward LeBron James and the Lakers bench late in the fourth quarter.

While Butler has certainly developed a reputation for holding little, if nothing back, he explained after Game 3 those were words James had for the Heat. James shared the message for his former team after the Lakers fell behind by 13 points but closed the first quarter on a 14-4 run.
