The Miami Heat established themselves as one of the best teams in the NBA last season despite not being on the radar of any of the mainstream media.
In fact, the Heat ended up getting all the way to the 2023 NBA Finals, albeit losing in five games against the Denver Nuggets.
It was none other than Jimmy Butler, who led the team from the front throughout the season.
Speaking of Butler, he once again proved his talent and value for the Miami Heat during the organization’s recent game against the Chicago Bulls by hitting the game-winner.

Butler pointed out that anybody in the league can hit the shot that he hit to seal the game against the Bulls.
To be honest, Butler may be correct about the difficulty of the shot, but he failed to take into account the clutch situation.
Prior to Butler’s buzzer-beater game-winning shot, the game was tied at 116-116.
However, Butler finally broke the deadlock by knocking down the mid-range jumper that helped the Heat in winning the game.
In the game, Butler recorded 28 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals for the Heat.
Butler was undoubtedly the best player in the game and helped the Heat to improve their record to 15-11 in the 2023-24 NBA season.
As of now, the Heat hold the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference and are trying to put together a winning streak after going 5-5 in their last games of the season.
