For a moment there, it seemed like the Miami Heat were in danger of blowing a big fourth-quarter lead and heading to Atlanta with a series knotted at 1-1.
That was before Jimmy Butler put the finishing touches on a masterpiece.
After the Heat held a 15-point edge early in the fourth quarter, Bogdan Bogdanovic went on a scoring binge to pull the Atlanta Hawks to within 101-104 with 3:15 left. On the Heat’s ensuing possession, Kyle Lowry set a screen for Butler to get an open runway for a dunk. That bucket gave Butler 40 points on the night, tying his playoff career high.
