Jimmy Butler’s 56-PT Performance Gives Heat 3-1 Series Lead Over Top-Seeded Milwaukee | NBA on TNT 

3-1 against the 1st seed, playing with 5 undrafted players, against the best defensive team in the league and dropping 56! Extremely insane Jimmy Butler

Jimmy just had one of the greatest playoff games of all time

I remember when he did this game 5 of the finals a few years ago. He was completely carrying his team, exhausted but never stopping, just like tonight. Some of the most overt displays of someone "willing" their team to a win. He's one guy who really does that.

56 points on 28 shots. Man that's crazy

MJ's son... a performance for the ages... literally won the game single-handedly. Thank you, Jimmy!

I agree with something Chuck said about Coach Bud. He should have just called a timeout to break the rhythm of the Heat and take the ball out of Jimmy Butler’s hands, because the longer you keep letting the heat play in rhythm for such a long period of time, at that point it becomes too difficult to extinguish the fire in that house

"That's what Kenny do to me" Chuck needs to chill.

I remember Charles telling us not to fear the Heat at all. Now they’re up 3-1 on one of the best teams in the league😂😂😂

"I just be hooping" is also an All-Time Quote 🔥🔥🔥

I live in Chicago, I vividly remember jimmy when he first came in the league. Purely a defender and athlete. What he has worked himself into is INCREDIBLE

As a celtics, I'd like to thank the Hawks from the bottom of my heart for their play-in performance!!!

Jimmy opened my eyes. I said Jimmy was a number 3 option for a good team. I was wrong. Dude is a legend.

A superhero performance, literally, the definition of one man carrying the whole team on his back. Such shame man, too many injured players, not the best season for them, Bucks in the first round - but yet there they are. Jimmy Buckets, Lillard, Jokic and Edwards are by far my favorite players.

Thats on JRUE HOLIDAY too… the best perimeter defender in the NBA. Legendary performance.

Feels like 2020 again 😭

He's definitely getting to legend status in the playoffs.

Gotta love Jimmy come playoff time he got a heart of a lion

Loved his interview, he was being humble and giving his teammates credit

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="654">10:54</a>. Shaq almost got chuck to confess to being a bottom 😂😂😂

Props to Jimmy. He was not going to be denied this game. Put the team and all of Miami on his back and carried hard. You'd think if Lopez gives you career high 36 and Giannis has a 26 pts triple double Bucks win but Jimmy had one of the best playoff games ever to shut it down.

Never in a million years did I think I would witness a 8 seed beating a 1 seed, a 7th beating a 2nd, and a 6th beating a 3rd in the same year😳

Difficult shot making after difficult shot making Jimmy Butler was just unstoppable tonight

Jimmy is the most underrated superstar ever. Just had the greatest playoff performance of all time. Willed and carried his team to beat the n1 seed. Idk why, but people always tend to overlook him, but I predicted exactly this since he is one of the only players left with the mamba mentality (also why he wasn't able to go along with KAT). He got one of the hardest, if not the hardest upbringing ever, and without insane athleticism or talent has worked his way up through pure hard work. Insane. One of the greatest players of all time. Definitely top 75. Love the dude.

Incredibly high praise from Charles. I feel the same way about Jimmy Butler’s masterclass tonight. It was a blessing and privilege to see it live.

An 8th seed without their second best scorer are up 3 -1 crazy

Yeah, he's MJ's son for sure 😂

Seeing Jimmy butler like this makes me wonder sometimes how Chicago would have done with him and a healthy Derrick rose together.

"I just be hoopin" 😂

If Miami goes through we might get an actual competitive Knicks vs Heat series. The 2012 one wasn't even close but the late 90s series were classics.

Jimmy Buckets 56points and LBJ 20/20 is insane. I want them to see on Finals once again. 🔥🔥🔥

Jimmy butler is one of the strongest player in playoffs.

Absolutely incredible performance by Jimmy Butler

Give some props for Caleb Martin for getting a steal on Jrue and tieing game with a 3 in front of Giannis. The others were there

Jimmy continues to show up this time of year. He consistently embraces the big moments. He was so special to night. We have to appreciate how special it is to watch players embrace the big moments.

The fact the sixers haven't sniffed a eastern conference finals and Jimmy took a heat team to a finals berth is something that still haunts philly.

He's honestly the only player in the NBA that has mamba mentality.

Like I been saying Jimmy and Anthony Edwards are the real Marcus and Jeffrey Jordan

56 points, 15/18 free throws, 1 turnover, 0 fouls. Brutal.

The media celebrates the superteams that win but Jimmy Butler doesn't have superstars around like other teams and he is still carrying this team, that's what stands out for me, hopefully he will given his props from the media on other shows

Excellent analysis by Kenny. That dunk on Giannis was a special type of being unphased

People used to talk bad about Jimmy Butler. USED TO. Now they all see the best post season player in the game now. I hope this guy gets a champion. He deserves it.

first game i’ve watched this year, just turned it on randomly. i think i’m hooked on the playoffs now. good lord

I was stressed out most of the game 😂. Chuck said before the game Miami had 2 out of the 3 best players on the court, but Brook Lopez said f*** that and decided to ball out. It wasn’t enough to contain Jimmy Buckets, though. That was such an exciting performance. Looked like John Wick out there!

what's crazy is in the regular season jimmy was shooting 1.6 3's a game at a 35% rate, this series he's shooting 4.3 3's a game at 52.9% made.

Simply one of the best games I've watched in years.

Willing a team to victory like he did really reminds me of Jordan

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="295">4:55</a> "It's not a thing, I just be hooping" Jimmy, we love you. You're one of the best in the league. We're rooting for you and watch you from start of the season until the end. THERE'S CLEARLY A PLAYOFF JIMMY. When the lights get bigger you get better. When your back is against the wall a different monster comes out. You can deny it, but we're witnessing your greatness live.

“ House on fire what you do Kenny ? “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jimmy turnt that heat up.

36.5/5.5/5 over 4 games, this is getting pretty amazing.

Himmy butler with one of the greatest playoff performance off all time 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Jimmy Buckets gives me goosebumps. Outstanding

“I just be hoopin” 🔥🔥🔥

Michael Jordan Jr.! As a Celtics fan, that man puts fear in my heart

Jimmy butler had that Gamebreaker mode on like “NBA STREETS”😂😂

Middleton hasn’t been himself from 2 years ago since that injury man He hasn’t shown up at all

And some people still have audacity to not call him a superstar😂. He was the best player in the East in last year playoffs and is clearly the best player in this playoffs once again

Congrats Jimmy Buckets and Coach Spoelstra and the Heat, wow what a performance from the Miami Heat Especially J Buckets, now some top seed Teams of the NBA are on the ropes Both East And West.

Playoff Jimmy is real 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

As a basketball fan I can say this was an amazing game but as a HEAT FAN I can’t even put it into words how that game felt. JIMMY G. BUCKETS🤙🏽

Jimmy's performance will be remembered for generations

Kenny farts at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="539">8:59</a>🤣🤣🤣

Best player in the league so far this playoffs and the numbers back it up.

Chuck has said in the past that a great player will never let you get swept. I think Barkley has never been swept in a series.

What a game❤

Jimmy Buckets is actually MJ. That was incredible.

That was an throwback 56 point performance too…only two 3s with most of the shots being midrange, long 2s, and layups with a nice low-post game.

Jimmy was phenomenal, like wow!

Feel bad for giannis for missing 3 games but what a game by butler.😊

After the Heat made it to the Finals in 2020, anyone should have seen this ability from Jimmy to have such a performance. This Playoffs, we could see some Play-in teams advance against the higher seeded teams. Especially against the #1 team of the East

Playoff Jimmy truly a different animal

"What'd he do to you Chuck?" says Shaq.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="639">10:39</a> that was the series when D Rose tore his ACL by the way, in case anyone was wondering

I been watching sports along time this is some of the best basketball I've ever seen in my life💯

Jimmy deserves the respect to be put on the best player in the world lists. Not saying he’s the best, but he keeps reaching a level most can’t when it really matters. He’s actually like that in the playoffs.

Chuck at the end: "I had to stop" before he said Kenny is the on one top 💀

What an amazing analysis! Best in the business!!!

We witness a legendary performance tonight

Jimmy is a special kind of player.

I’m so glad he did this so everyone can put respect on his name made every team better he’s a goat definitely deserves a ring

Jimmy "Playoff" Butler. Respect it.

Kimmy butler be doing what we expect KL to do for the clippers

Chuck, "Kenny, what you gotta do when the house on fire?". Kenny, " Oh, you gotta get the women and children out." Loved that.

It's not that Giannis choked and didn't show up, it was Holiday and Middleton who were dogshit and non existent in the clutch. Got outplayed by Caleb Martin smdh.

Bro I pull them numbers on 2k. Jimmy went CRAZY.

Been a huge fan of Jimmy since he was on my Chicago Bulls. I’m so happy he’s finally getting his acknowledgment. Dude is a berserker

Spolestra is one of the most underrated coaches in the NBA.

JIMMY BUCKETS!!! Congratulations, Coach Spo!!! 🎉🎉🎉

As a Celtics fan who remembered that ECF war last year with those Miami boys .. and knows at least in the NBA seeding doesn't always determine as much considering how many circumstaniom of events that's can transpire over an 82 game season . My point lol is I'm not sure if I'd prefer Miami over those bucks ... I'll say the only reason I will, is because we would take control of home court advantage over the rest of the playoffs. And when they were better , and the 1 seed we took them to 7 and somehow left Miami with a win . I'd also say the Celtics are better this year and Tatum and brown have reached near superstar status . And with Williams healthy down low and the addition of brogan and how deep we are . Top 1 and 2 in offensive and defensive efficiency , herro out.. all that and I'm still shook 😮😂 What a show jimmy . And besides the C's predictably dsstroying the hawks this been one of the best first rounds I can remember

Lebrick 2012 east finals g6 everyone had him gone comes out 45 15 and win that game most underrated in NBA history.

The best thing about his game is the efficiency.

Himmy Freaking Butler 🔥🔥🔥

Kenny loves too bring up his Rocket days and his rings like he was integral 😅😂😅

Wow..jimmyB cared the Miami heats..you the man Jimmy.💯👍🌹🙏

19/28 and had 56 is amazing 🔥

The Best ! Game Played By The Heat ! Go Heat Go !

Bucks really thought Jae Crowder and Ingles are gonna be their top wing defenders 😂😂😂😂

Hey TNT --- Can't wait for the Gone Fishing graphic on the Bucks!

I was there live what a game

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="550">9:10</a> I love that Kenny put Chuck in his place, he really wanted to win that argument 🤣 It's cool Chuck! Can't win them all ❤

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="540">9:00</a> someone was shitting. 😂
