Jimmy Butler shows up in the clutch yet again

After facing some difficult odds, the Heat fought their way back into the game behind some tremendous shooting from Gabe Vincent and Duncan Robinson. Bam Adebayo's defensive work on Nikola Jokic down the stretch also forced some costly turnovers for Denver.
Butler arrived in the nick of time to put the finishing touches on the performance. The Heat superstar knocked down some huge shots while also drawing some key fouls to expand Miami's lead. This eventually gave them enough of a cushion against Denver's final push to get back in the game.
Jimmy Butler ended the game with 21 points, nine assists and four rebounds. Adebayo matched Butler on scoring with 21 points of his own while also recording two blocked shots. Gabe Vincent led Miami in scoring with 23 points.
Guess the Lakers players!
