MIAMI – Jimmy Butler got into his bag Sunday night and did a number on the Dallas Mavericks.
The Miami Heat guard poured in a game-high 33 points, and more importantly scored the crucial basket that sent the game into overtime. And once the game reached overtime, the Heat were able to prevail, 123-118.
Coming out of a timeout, the Heat trailed, 114-112, and needed a basket to tie the score and sent the game into overtime. And that’s what they got from Butler, who slipped past the Mavs’ defense and rolled inside the paint for a dunk with just 4.
