Jimmy Buttler doing everything he can for the Heat but the Hawks are catching fire in the fourth. It's now a single possession ball game and a lot of things could still happen with under 3 minutes remaining. It eould be a shame if the Heat lose this one after a commanding third quarter.
Bogdanovic is the game changer here.

Game's over. Huge response from Butler aftet their lead was cut down to only three.
Yeah, it was Butler in the last 3-4 minutes of the game, 40+ points in game 2, that's huge. Too much experience I would say, Butler and the rest of the Heat knows how to protect that lead and then their defense against Trae Young in that crucial minutes. Bogdanovic though continue to score in the 1:30 mark but it was too late already. And then the Heat putting the ball to their best FT shooter to seal the win for them.
I honestly didn't like how he ended up with 45 points while the rest are under 20 points. It doesn't look good for the team's overall performance but a win is still a win. I've seen them do better as a team and I expect a more balanced scoring and more ball movement from them in game 3.
That's how it goes some games. Feed the hot hand. Butler scored 7 in a row when they were only up 3 to stretch the game to 10. Dude is playing out of his mind right now, Jimmy doesn't get the credibility he deserves.
Jimmy put on a show, if he's this consistent throughout the playoffs, it's going to be a nightmare against other teams, and might as well win a chip for Miami. On the other hand, Trae can perform like this and if he did, then this round is going to be very interesting, anyways, Heat in 5.
