Much has been made of jimmy butler and Grant Williams face to face in the last quarter of Game 2 between the boston celtics and the Miami Heat. At that point, Boston was ahead and riding high after a Williams 3-pointer to give them a six-point lead. Butler fell apart on the ensuing possession, scored against Williams, was fouled and the two clashed, spawning a monster run by Miami en route to a 111-105 victory.
Williams battled Butler down the stretch, but the Heat star followed him up by facing him 1-on-1, and despite his best efforts, Williams couldn’t stop him from scoring consistently. It’s something that just happens when you play Butler, especially when he’s cooking in a playoff game, but Butler seemed to really enjoy it all the same. After the game, cameras caught him yelling that the Celtics thought Williams was “the answer to the Jimmy Butler problem.”
After getting a hit after the game with TNT, Butler was caught once again yelling about Williams as he started to walk to the locker room.
Butler scored 27 points on 12-for-25 shooting on the night. With the win, the Heat managed to win both games in Boston to start the series up, 2-0, as things turn to Miami for Game 3 on Sunday.
