Jimmy Butler took responsibility and was the highlight of Game 1 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, between Miami Heat and Boston Celtics
On Tuesday night, the 17th, Jimmy Butler was responsible for giving the victory to the Miami Heat over the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals. In the confrontation that promises to be one of the most electrifying of the Playoffs, the teams delivered on the court everything that was expected of them.
On the one hand, the Boston franchise played an impressive game. Without Marcus Smart and Al Horford, two of its main players, the Celtics were warriors and sought victory at all times. Starting the match well, the team couldn’t hold back the opponent’s momentum and ended up giving up the victory.

On the other hand, the Miami Heat started the game with some scares. Being behind on the scoreboard for most of the match, the players of the Florida franchise did not give up and ran after the result at all times. After going to the locker room at the end of the second quarter eight points behind on the scoreboard, the team managed to get back on its feet.
In a monumental performance, Jimmy Butler was responsible for the Heat’s reaction. Contributing a lot offensively, the player guided the team to win the third period by 25 points. Despite the Celtics’ great defense, the guard reached 41 points, nine rebounds and five assists.
The shirt 22 was the main player of the match and had about 63% of success in the field shots during the confrontation. On the other hand, who stood out was Jayson Tatum, who reached 29 points made, eight rebounds and six assists. Beyond, Jaylen Brown scored 24 points.
