NBA Playoffs 2022: Jimmy Butler lifts Miami Heat with a picture-perfect performance

BOSTON -- The Miami Heat might have to clear some room in Championship Alley.

That's the name for the path from their home court to the locker room that is filled with wall-sized memories of greatness from Miami's past. Gary Payton's jumper that started their 2006 Finals comeback. Blood dripping down Udonis Haslem's face in the fourth quarter of a vital playoff game. LeBron James' icy stare in the iconic first quarter of his 45-point masterpiece to win Game 6 in Boston in 2012. And many more.

Heat president Pat Riley occasionally takes guests down the long walk, stopping in front of the huge images above the deep red carpet to tell the backstories.
