'Tough as Hell' Heat Stun Twitter as Jimmy Butler Keys G2 NBA Finals Win vs. Nuggets

After Thursday's disappointing showing in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, it was easy to write off the Miami Heat in their series against the Denver Nuggets. But in Sunday's Game 2, Miami put its culture on full display once again to earn a 111-108 comeback victory.

Heat star Jimmy Butler powered a dominant fourth-quarter performance, overcoming an eight-point deficit and outscoring the Nuggets by 11 points in the final frame to spoil the night for fans at Ball Arena. He overcame a subpar shooting night (7-of-19) to finish with 21 points and nine assists.

However, Butler had a ton of help on Sunday night as the Heat role players provided some much-needed production.
