LeBron James praised Jimmy Butler for his stellar performance in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
Butler posted a monster triple double (40 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists) and helped the Miami Heat remain alive in the series.
“I thought Jimmy was phenomenal…we’ll watch the film and see how we can be better (on him) in Game 4,” James told reporters afterwards, via Mike Trudell of Spectrum Sportsnet.
Meanwhile, James flirted with the triple double, finishing the game with 25 points, 10 boards and eight assists.
The Lakers lost Game 3 (104-115), but still lead the series 2-1. Game 4 is on Tuesday.
