Jimmy Butler did it again Tuesday. With the Bulls tied with the Dallas Mavericks at 96 with 37 seconds left, Butler dribbled out of the backcourt heading, you just knew, to that right wing for the shot that has become as unstoppable as Kareem’s sky hook, Gervin’s finger roll, Dirk’s one legged fadeaway, Jimmy’s step back.
Wesley Matthews, who had been skirmishing with his former Marquette teammate all game in a brilliant duel of top defensemen, got up on Butler, fought over the screen and was in terrific defensive position. Fugetaboutit!
Jimmy’s 21 footer floated in with 22.
