Jimmy Butler in action
Jimmy Butler was absolutely magnificent against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night. He recorded his 15th triple-double against the Raptors and took the game to the third overtime. This was the second time in the current NBA season that a game went to a third overtime, the other one was on 26 Nov 2021 between the Kings and Lakers.
Unfortunately, Butler’s performance was not enough to bring the victory for the Miami heats. The Raptors were led by Gary Trent Jr scored 33 points and Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam OG Anunoby scored more than 20 points and defeated the heats by 124-120. The Miami Heat might have lost the game but their star forward registered an unheard record which has surpassed LeBron James.
