Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler played a pivotal role in leading his team to a win against the Bulls in the Play-In, securing an 8th seed position and a place in the playoffs according to Yardbarker (https://www.yardbarker.com/NBA/articles/jimmy-butler_leads_heat_to_victory_reach_playoffs/s1_13132_36261918). Butler’s impressive performance in the playoffs is attributed to his team’s defense and rebounding skills. During a post-game interview, Butler credited Bam Adebayo’s dirty work, saying that “he went up & got every single loose ball” (https://twitter.com/search/Jimmy+Butler+news+today).
Butler, who plays as a small forward for the Miami Heat, is also expected to face off against Giannis Antetokounmpo in the Heat-Bucks series according to Brady Hawk’s tweet (https://twitter.com/BradyHawk305). This is a challenge for Butler, as the Bucks are in the top five in terms of three-point attempts.
