Butler like Mike with latest scoring outburst

It's not easy to break any kind of Chicago Bulls scoring record, not with Michael Jordan scoring almost 30,000 points over 13 seasons in Chicago.

But that's exactly what Jimmy Butler did on Sunday by scoring 40 second-half points, a team record in a single half in Bulls history.

Butler broke the record formerly held by Jordan, who tallied 39 in the second half against the Bucks back on February 16, 1989.

Butler, who scored just two points in the first half, broke loose for 40 on 14-for-19 shooting in the second half.
