Jimmy Butler Drops Team-High 27 Points During Victory
5 years agoMiami Heat shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler scorched his former team for 27 points during Friday’s win over the Chicago Bulls. Butler was an efficient 7-for-10 from the floor, racking up 12 made free throws in addition to seven assists, five rebounds and four steals that padded his stat line. Butler has dished out passes at a career rate through his first 11 games with the Heat, averaging 7.0 per night. He faces another former squad Saturday during the second leg of a back-to-back versus the Philadelphia 76ers, who could be without Josh Richardson, who was traded for Butler during the offseason and would be expected to check the All-Star should he be healthy enough to suit up.
