Butler’s two-word answer on whether Williams was the defensive answer to stopping him?
“Hell no.”
It’s been an epic postseason for Butler and the close of Game 2 was no different. With nearly six minutes left in the final frame, Williams hit a big 3 to put the Celtics up nine points, 96-87. Jogging back on defense, he started jawing with Butler. Butler, in turn, seemed to laugh it off and, unfortunately for Boston, went to work.
