Jimmy Butler trolls Al Horford as the Miami Heat destroy the Boston Celtics 128-102, take 3-0 series lead

Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat are unstoppable.
After Game 2 in Boston, where Playoff Jimmy completely punk’d Grant Williams and the Celtics, the Heat’s improbable run to the NBA Finals continued last night in Miami with a convincing 128-102 win to go up 3-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals.Â
Of course, with another dominating win by Jimmy Butler and the Heat came another moment for Butler to let everyone know that he’s unstoppable. Grant Williams was the victim in Game 2 and last night, it was Al Horford in the third quarter with the game well out of reach.Â
After Gabe Vincent hit a transition three to extend the lead to 23 points, Butler got down on one knee right at half court and made a timeout signal towards Horford.

The timeout was a sweet taste of revenge for Butler and the Heat after Game 1 of the series in Boston, when Horford basically did the exact same thing after hitting a big three that forced Miami to burn a time out.

Jimmy Butler is an absolute psychopath on the basketball court and he has a team full of undrafted role players playing like All-Stars and if you really think about it, crediting instances like the timeout call and chirping at Grant Williams makes perfect sense. It gives the rest of the Miami Heat team all the confidence they need that they belong in the playoffs, even as an 8th seed.
Just look at the box score from last night. Butler didn’t really have to do the heavy lifting as we’ve seen over the playoffs. He ended with just 16 points while his teammates Gabe Vincent (29 PTS), Duncan Robinson (22 PTS) and Caleb Martin (18 PTS) led the Heat to a convincing Game 3 win.
The Boston Celtics are now down 3-0 and look like a shell of the team the Sixers faced in the second round of the playoffs.
