Jimmy Butler Leads Heat to OT Victory and Eliminates Top-Seeded Bucks

TL;DR Summary
Jimmy Butler insisted on taking the final shot in the Miami Heat's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, and he managed to convert an alley-oop from an inbound play to tie the game at 118-all. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra initially didn't plan for Butler to take the final shot, but Butler convinced him. Butler's performance in the series against the Bucks, particularly his Game 4 performance when he scored a franchise playoff record of 56 points, has been impressive. The Heat are the lowest seed in the Eastern Conference, but they epitomize a team built for the playoffs, and it starts with Butler.
