Jimmy Butler turned in another playoff performance for the ages on Wednesday, helping will the Heat to a road victory over the Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Butler hit a dagger three to put the game out of reach of Boston late in the fourth quarter, and commentator Kevin Harlan perfectly amplified the moment with an outstanding call of the shot.
Butler’s three hit off the back rim before getting an extremely friendly bounce that put it on target. The shot gave Miami a 10-point lead with just over a minute left, and Harlan was absolutely fired up over it.
