Down three in a closely played second quarter, Jimmy Butler cruised around a Kyle Lowry screen, got a step on Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and went into a classic Butler move — a drop step followed by a two-footed floater. Butler has made this shot countless times, including in these playoffs, but this one gently nudged the front of the rim and landed in the hands of Aaron Gordon.
Gordon turned, sprinted down the court and out-ran the Miami Heat defense into an easy two-handed dunk. The result was a four-point swing. What could have been a 49-48 game had Butler made his shot was now 51-46 with 1:27 to go in the first half.
