Former Philadelphia 76ers star Jimmy Butler delivered yet another terrific playoff performance on Monday night when he scored a Miami Heat franchise playoff record 56 points in Game 4 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. The 8-seed Heat now have a 3-1 lead on the top-seed Bucks in Round 1.
Butler scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to rally the Heat from a double-digit deficit to shock the Bucks. He shot an efficient 19-for-28 from the floor and he knocked down three triples on eight attempts.
Afterward, he talked with TNT on the sideline and when he discussed the MVP chants he received from the fans, he brushed that off and gave the MVP love to Joel Embiid:
I don’t know about MVP. I think that’s Joel if I’m being brutally honest.
“I don’t know about MVP. I think that’s Joel.”
