“You pushed the Jimmy button.”
“You shouldn’t have did that.”
That would be my message to one Grant Williams of the Boston Celtics. After sinking a three-pointer to give Boston a 96-87 lead with 6:37 left in the 4th quarter and jawing at Jimmy Butler, Butler and the Miami Heat responded in kind, finishing the game with a 24-9 run and leaving the Boston crowd stunned. It was yet another truly baffling 4th quarter for the Celtics, and Miami now holds a commanding 2-0 lead in the series, having won both games on the road.
Butler finished with 27 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals while Bam Adebayo nearly had a triple double, putting up a Jokic-like line of 22 points, 17 rebounds, and 9 assists (with just one turnover).
