” I don’t even remember… “, cowardly Jimmy Butler, pouting, when asked what memories he kept of his last visit to TD Garden. This match, Heat fans have probably not forgotten. It was last May when the Floridians played their survival game in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. And Jimmy G. Buckets had signed a memorable performance: 47 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals.
He didn’t do as well last night, on the same floor, but the back, who returned from a seven-game absence due to a sore knee, was still lethal against the Celtics.
We do not count the number of decisive actions on his part. We think of his little baseline shot, to give his team a three-point lead 35 seconds from the end, then a much more complicated shot the next possession, backwards and despite the pressure from Al Horford, who would have “had to” sign the victory without the prayer sent by Jaylen Brown behind.
We still think of his counter in front of Brown in overtime or his huge shot, still in front of Al Horford, ten seconds from the end to, this time, seal the success of his team. In short, a recital from a ” such a winner. I feel like for the first three quarters I didn’t call a system for him. He just finds a way to be competitive and help your team win », describes Erik Spoelstra.
His star player signed one of his strongest games of the season with 25 points (12/21 on shots, including 0/1 from afar), 15 rebounds (3rd double-double of the year) and 3 assists .
‘Glad’ Jaylen Brown got his shot in
” Looks like he got his energy back, his legs. And he made some big shots down the stretch remarks Bam Adebayo, his team’s leading scorer with 28 points. Only Jaylen Brown in front did better than the pivot of the Heat in terms of “scoring” with 37 points, 14 rebounds and that unlikely shot to send everyone into overtime.
” Jaylen was true to himself, he took shots throughout the game. It’s hard. We must make do (this shot). I probably should have challenged him, maybe foul him with his back to the basket, but I hate fouls. He played amazing, so I’m glad he got it in. But I’m glad we walk away with the win “Notes Butler, who therefore did not see fit to raise his arm on this last impossible shot from his opponent.
With this victory, Miami is approaching the balanced record with 11 wins and 12 losses, including four wins in the last five outings. With starters now healthy, the Heat can start looking up again.
” We never lost confidence in the group, in ourselves. We know what we are capable of. We have to go out there and prove it. We don’t worry about anyone else, just the guys in this locker room, our coaches, management. We’ve got a long way to go, but we can get there “Postes Jimmy Butler who keeps the same objective in mind:” The title. »
