Follow Us
It looks like Jimmy Butler has finally found a home in Miami Heat after jumping from team to team in the last couple of seasons. He made a great showing for his team in the NBA Playoffs, helping the Heat take a 2-0 lead over the Indiana Pacers.
The hot shooting from beyond the three-point line was too much to handle for a Sabonis-less Pacers team. Moreover, the Miami Heat’s 17 long-range bombs set a new franchise record for three-pointers made in a single playoff game for the franchise.
While Butler struggled a bit from the field, it was Duncan Robinson who was on fire today. He drained 7 three-pointers to give Heat a comfortable lead over the Pacers.

In an interview with Taylor Rooks, Butler was asked about the reason behind his success with Miami.
Butler replied, “I get to be me.”
“We don’t take nothing personal because everybody knows that, whenever I say something I mean well, it may not come out the right way but I mean well and it goes that way across the board.
