Jimmy Butler Just Misses Triple-Double
4 years agoMiami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler had an awful time shooting the ball in Sunday's victory over the Knicks but was close to posting a triple-double with 17 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists. He went just 3-for-11 from the floor but salvaged his scoring with an 11-for-12 effort at the foul line. Butler's line included one steal and four turnovers in 34 minutes. Butler is averaging an 18-6-6 line for the season, so it's no surprise that he flirted with a triple-double. He hasn't recorded one during the regular season since December 2019. Butler should enjoy a good all-around performance again in another matchup against the Knicks on Tuesday.
