The Philadelphia 76ers are getting the most from star wing Jimmy Butler after a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier this season.
It was just a few days ago that Butler beat the New Orleans Pelicans with a late three pointer in what was one of the best games of the NBA season. Butler repeated said act Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets.
With his Sixers down by one point and time running out late in the fourth quarter, Butler hoisted up what seemed to be a desperation three.
Fortunately for Philadelphia, Jimmy Buckets delivered in epic fashion as the game came to an end.
😱 JIMMY. BUCKETS. FOR THE WIN!! 😱

What a clutch shot from Butler. He finished with 18 points in the fourth quarter and a team high 34 points in the 127-125 win.
It might have taken Butler a while to fit into his new team. But the dude continues to hit clutch shot after clutch shot.
