Miami once again was back in the win column with a 106-94 victory over the Sixers on Thursday night.
This game was never really in doubt. The Heat led wire to wire. Jimmy Butler aka #JIMVP once again led the Heat with 21 points. He scored 21 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field and he did so in 29 minutes of playing time (4-of-4 from three).
Butler feels very confident about his game and more importantly, the Heat’s potential to make another deep postseason run/win a championship. When asked about this Butler kept things very simple.

“Nobody intimidates us,” Butler said.
