In their most recent game against the Detroit Pistons, the Miami Heat gave it their all on the floor.
The Heat lost 125-124 in overtime after Tyler Herro forced the game into overtime.
Jimmy Butler had a great game, aside from Herro. With 35 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists, the 35-year-old was the team’s mainstay.
This performance will surely raise Butler’s market worth given the recent trade rumors around him. But for the time being, let us ignore everything and concentrate on Butler’s outstanding performance against the Pistons.
Jimmy’s historic night put him in an elite list of players who finished the game with a triple-double with 0 turnovers or fouls. Apart from Butler, the list features Domantas Sabonis, Clint Capela, Ben Simmons, and Derek Anderson.
That is not all, though. Butler recorded a 30-point triple-double with zero fouls and turnovers, making him the first player to accomplish so in 40 years, according to StatMuse.
That is an incredible record. The Heat player is still making an impression on fans even though he is approaching the end of his NBA career.
After all, the Heat have a smaller window for a title with him than ever before, and he is not getting any younger. This season, Butler’s averages are 19.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per contest.
However, the organization might stick to its decision to fire Butler given that the Heat were still defeated by one point.
