Jimmy Buckets is activated.
Jimmy Butler put on a blazing 56-point show for the Miami Heat on Monday to lead a stunning rally past the Milwaukee Bucks and put the Eastern Conference's No. 1 seed on the brink of elimination.
He opened the game with a 22-point fourth quarter that included scoring 20 straight Heat points. He finished by leading a rally from 12-point fourth quarter Heat hole to secure a 119-114 Miami win. The victory secured a 3-1 series lead for the 8th-seeded Heat over a Bucks team that finished the season with the NBA's best regular-season record. They secured the win in Giannis Antetokounmpo's return to the floor following a two-plus game absence with a back contusion.
Antetokounmpo looked no worse for the injury while posting a triple-double, showing the form that's made him a two-time league MVP. It just wasn't enough to overcome a determined Butler, who continued to carry the Heat on his back, this time to the tune of a career-high and Heat playoff scoring record.
