There are few things you can count on in this world, but Jimmy Butler getting to the line is definitely one of them. In fact, Jimmy’s many trips to the line defined the first half of the game. Well, that and Kelly Olynyk’s amazing Steph Curry impression. Their uncanny scoring early propelled the Heat to a solid lead which it would maintain until early in the 2nd quarter.
I know we joke on Twitter about Heat killers. You know the ones, Danny Green, Ersan Ilyasova, and others. But early tonight it was Derrick Rose and Elfrid Payton who claimed the tag.
