The Bucks v Heat game was absolute madness and Jimmy Butler’s performance was even crazier.
He scored a career-high 56 points, nine rebounds and two assists to see the Heat take a 3-1 series lead with a 119-114 win on the night Giannis Antetokounmpo returned from injury.
Miami were trailing bad in the fourth but brought it back and were up by seven with 32.7 seconds left to play.
NBA Twitter had some hilarious reactions to the game and they weren’t too impressed by Bam’s performance.

The Heat are the funniest team in the NBA. They don’t make any sense. Like all you can say is “playoff Jimmy Butler” and somehow it’s the answer to all of their many questions.
