“Draymond Green, thanks for the inspiration”: Jimmy Butler and co. grab a 111-103 Game 6 win following the GSW DPOY’s prediction of the Celtics winning the ECF

With their backs against the wall, Jimmy Butler led his Miami Heat to a Game 6 win as he put up an all-time performance recording 47 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists.

Jimmy Butler seems to shine the brightest when the Miami Heat needs him the most. After recording a subpar 19 points and 5 assists in Games 4 and 5, the Heat forward put on the performance of his life in a do-or-die game.

Jimmy Buckets led the team to a 111-103 Game 6 win over the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden as he went on to record 47 points (career playoff-high), 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, and a block on an impressive 55.2/50/100 shooting split.
