Miami Heat Proving They're Built Perfectly Around Jimmy Butler

Jimmy Butler has been the star of the Miami Heat all postseason. Really, he's been their driving force for four years, but we all know "Playoff Jimmy" is different, even if he continues to insist that's not a thing.

But after an utterly dominant 128-102 win over the Boston Celtics in Game 3, it's clear that this team is about far more than its star.

Miami now leads the Eastern Conference Finals 3-0. They led Sunday's game by 30 points after three quarters. Butler didn't have to log a second in the fourth quarter, and he finished with just 16 points on 5-of-13 shooting.
