Jimmy Butler had an impressive showing in Game 1 win vs. the Bucks for the Miami Heat. The veteran superstar talked on his big shots during the fourth quarter revealing what he told his teammates.

“Say what you will, but I told my teammates I probably wasn’t going to pass the ball. I made a couple of shots and they said, ‘That’s fine with me,”’ Butler said, per Ben Golliver.

Butler finished the contest with 40 points, with 14 of them coming in the fourth quarter. He had that type of games during the Pacers series, but his performance in Game 1 vs. Milwaukee exceeded all expectations.

Despite Butler not passing the ball in the fourth quarter, he received plenty of help from his teammates with Dragic scoring 27 points. Furthermore, Adebayo had 17 rebounds along with 12 points and 6 assists.
