Jimmy Butler did it again on Friday night, leading the Heat from down double-digits to another come-from-behind win in the playoffs. This time, Boston threw a different primary defender at him, but that decision ultimately backfired in many ways.
Grant Williams, who did not play in the first game of the series, was tasked with trying to limit Butler in Game 2. However, Williams’s decision to trash talk Butler after a made three backfired immediately, as Butler relentlessly attacked him down the stretch as Miami took, and extended, the lead.
While walking off the floor, Butler loudly and sarcastically questioned why Boston put Williams on him late.
