The legend of "Playoff Jimmy" Butler continues to grow.
Butler had 27 points, eight rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks in the Heat's Game 2 victory over the Celtics, pushing Miami to a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. He was the driving force behind a fourth-quarter comeback after he got into a heated verbal altercation with Grant Williams.
"That's just competition at its finest. ... I like that. I'm all for that," Butler said of the interaction with Williams. "It makes me key in a lot more. It pushes that will that I have to win a lot more. It makes me smile. It does."
Now, Butler and his teammates will head home looking to win a third consecutive contest against the East's No. 2 seed. Can Miami keep rolling through the NBA Playoffs? Or will Boston take Game 3 on the road?
