TORONTO -- Philadelphia 76ers coach Brett Brown said his team evened up their second-round series 1-1 Monday with a 94-89 win over the Toronto Raptors thanks to one of his players slipping into an alter-ego.
Jimmy Butler, with 30 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and a blocked shot, became James.
"This was James Butler," Brown said. "That was the adult in the gym. ... He was just a tremendous sort of rock. He willed us to a lot of different situations. ... He was a stud. He really was an adult in the gym.
