There were only two games on the NBA Playoff schedule Monday night, but they didn’t lack entertainment value.
Starting with the Miami Heat, it was Jimmy Butler who put together one of the most impressive individual performances in postseason history. The 33-year-old future Hall of Famer exploded for a career-high (and franchise playoff-high) 56 points in a 119-114 comeback victory for the eight-seeded Heat over the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks. Miami trailed by as many as 14 points in the fourth quarter but Butler poured in 21 four-quarter points to help the Heat take the lead down the stretch.
