MIAMI -- With 2:17 remaining in Game 3, Jimmy Butler was fouled and headed to the line for a pair of free throws.
As Butler stepped up to the charity stripe, he took a moment to catch his breath and put his hands on his knees. The fans at the Kaseya Center slowly rose to their feet to cheer for their MVP -- the one who had just returned to lead the Miami Heat to a dominant 105-86 victory Saturday over the New York Knicks to take a 2-1 series lead.
