Jimmy Butler, playing against the Heat for the first since they traded him, was held to 11 points as host Miami defeated the short-handed Golden State Warriors 112-86 on Tuesday night.

Butler was worthy of the hype. Not only because of how he put the Heat on his back on epic postseason runs, establishing himself as one of the league’s prominent figures. But because he delivers the drama along with his dominance. Because he understands moments and how to manufacture spectacle, especially when he feels disrespected.

Before Golden State takes the floor against New Orleans, the Warriors' official social media account posted a historic announcement regarding Butler. The Warriors star became the first player in franchise history to record 300+ points, 100+ rebounds and 100+ assists in their first 20 games played.
