"LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have 2 games with 40-5-5, and Jimmy Butler has 3!": The Miami Heat superstar's helps push past the Boston Celtics to take the first game!

Jimmy Butler has earned his stripes as one of Heat Nation’s greatest. His third 40-5-5 game puts him above LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. 

The Miami Heat pulled off a second-half comeback to keep the home-court advantage and punish the Boston Celtics tonight. The mastermind behind it all is Jimmy Butler.

The Heat superstar has quietly been going about his business. His playoff average of 28.3 ppg, is the third highest in Miami Heat history. His performances have helped the team when they needed him the most. Tonight was no different.

He put up an absolutely scorching stat line. 41-9-5-4-3, yes, he also added 4 steals and 3 blocks to that absurd performance. Incidentally, this stat line has been put up for the first time in NBA Playoff history!
