Miami Heat defeated the Boston Celtics 111-101 to tie the first round of the Eastern Conference series 1-1, and Jimmy Butler is loving it.
The Heat player mocked the Celtics on Instagram after the loss, photoshopping his face over Jaylen Brown's in a quote graphic from last season.
Brown's comment "don't let us get one" came after Boston fell behind 3-0 in the Eastern Conference finals, which Miami eventually won in seven games.
Butler has found a way to talk trash despite the fact that he is out of the game due to an injury.
The No. 8 seed Heat recovered from a 114-94 loss to the No. 1 Celtics in Game 1 despite missing Butler, Terry Rozier, and Josh Richardson.
It's the seventh time under Erik Spoelstra that they've lost a game by at least 20 points and then won the next game by 10 points in a postseason series,
tying him for the most such wins by a head coach in NBA history, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
Tyler Herro led the Heat with 24 points and 14 assists, and he made or assisted on 16 3-pointers.
Butler suffered a right MCL injury against the Philadelphia 76ers in the play-in tournament game last Wednesday. He is expected to be sidelined for several weeks,
