The Boston Celtics are going to be seeing Jimmy Butler in their nightmares for years to come after the Eastern Conference Final.
On Sunday, the Miami Heat took it to the Celtics in Game 3 with an absolute blowout of a match, putting Boston on the back foot with a statement game. After doing a bit of trolling on Grant Williams, Butler once again upped his game with a shot at Al Horford.
Late in Game 3, Butler nailed a three-pointer to extend the Heat’s lead on the Celtics. Once the shot was drained, Butler moonwalked backwards and celebrated with a timeout call… for the Celtics. If you recall, Horford pulled the same move — calling a timeout for the Heat — in Game 1 after a big three-pointer.
