Jimmy Butler had quite the showing during the Sixers' 94–89 win over the Raptors in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Monday. In fact, Butler, who scored a game-high 30 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and added five assists, was so lethal that Philadelphia coach Brett Brown, jokingly, didn't seem to recognize who he was on the court.
"This was James Butler," Brown told reporters following the victory. "That was the adult in the gym."
“That was James Butler.”
Brett Brown gave Jimmy Butler some great praise. Jimmy Buckets, Jimmy F. Butler, and Jimmy Butlaaaaah have company.
