A series that appeared headed for a quick denouement not long ago may only just be getting started after the Miami star delivered one of the great performances in NBA finals history
Things looked plenty grim for the Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat entering Sunday night’s third game of the NBA finals.
Even at full strength, the improbable Eastern Conference champions had gone off as longshots against a Los Angeles Lakers team fronted by two of the five best players in the world in LeBron James and Anthony Davis. But after losing their second- and third-best players to injuries and getting mostly overwhelmed the first two games of the best-of-seven championship series, Miami were all but written off entirely.
