NEW YORK CITY -- A hobbled Jimmy Butler stood in the corner of the court at Madison Square Garden going through his shooting routine repeatedly, even while the ball was in play.
The Miami Heat star knew there wasn't much he could do in the final five minutes, but he wasn't going to leave the court.
Butler turned his right ankle on a drive with 5:05 in the fourth quarter but gutted out the rest of the game as the Heat defeated the New York Knicks, 108-101, in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinals matchup.
