Miami Heat: Jimmy Butler Had An All-Time Franchise Game 4, But They Took An L
The Miami Heat got an all-time franchise showing from Jimmy Butler for a playoff game. The only thing, of course, is that it came in defeat.
Check this tidbit out.
This will be the first time a Heat player has scored at least 40 in a playoff game and Miami didn't win.

Heat had been 13-0 all-time in such situations before tonight.
You love that he had a dominant showing. Heck, he’s been there all playoffs long, carrying the Miami Heat, and specifically scoring 73 points across their last two games, the two Philly defeats.
Back to something being the worst of its kind again though, you hate that this record and those two showings came in a losing effort, thus putting him on the wrong side of the record books like this. It was a phenomenal performance by Jimmy, as he had in Game 3, however, he’s the only guy to have a showing like that and not get the victory.
You hate to see it. You, especially, hate to see it for a guy like Jimmy Butler who does things the right way, it appears.
