Butler’s magical performance helps Heat to triumph over Bucks
Butler was undoubtedly the best player on the hardwood last night. If he wasn’t there, it wouldn’t have been possible for the Heat to topple the Bucks and get their second consecutive win in a row. After the end of the third quarter, it seemed the Milwaukee Bucks would tie the series, but Butler changed the entire scenario in the fourth quarter by dropping 21 points. The 33-year-old wrapped up the game last night with 56 points, nine rebounds and two assists.
As of now, the Heat are just a win away from clinching a spot in the Western Conference semifinals. Their next game is on Wednesday, and no one could seemingly stop them from winning if Butler continues annihilating his opponents like last night.
