Mission accomplished.
Thanks to some fantastic performances across the board, the HEAT handed the Raptors their first loss at home and downed the defending champs 121-110 in overtime Tuesday night at Scotiabank Arena.
Let’s get right into how it all went down, starting with a superb finish for Jimmy Buckets.
1. Butler Takes Over Late
After missing what would have been the game-winner at the end of regulation, Jimmy Butler took over in OT and left no doubt that the HEAT would walk away victorious.
All told, he scored the first eight points of the overtime period due to a couple jumpers and a heads-up steal and slam.
