MIAMI -- Jimmy Butler had the game of his life, and the Miami Heat had a comeback for the ages.
Butler scored 56 points -- tying the fourth-best scoring performance ever in an NBA playoff game -- and the Heat roared back from 14 points down in the final quarter to stun the Milwaukee Bucks 119-114 on Monday night and put the NBA's top overall seed on the brink of early elimination.
The 56 points also became Butler's career high, as well as a franchise playoff record. And the 14-point fourth-quarter comeback became Miami's biggest of the season, at the absolute biggest time.
