Butler joins Michael Jordan, Russell Westbrook, and LeBron James as the only players in NBA playoff history to record
For the Heat, only Bam Adebayo attempted more than 10 shots. Butler, however, made the most of his opportunities, scoring 55 percent of his points from inside the 3-point line.
With Antetokounmpo's availability for Wednesday's Game 2 in question, a repeat performance from Butler could send the Heat back to Miami with a 2-0 lead over the Eastern Conference's top seed.
The 10-time postseason scorer for the Heat scored 35 or more points on Sunday, surpassing the great LeBron James in the process.
According to NBA history, Butler now ranks second all-time behind only Dwyane Wade, who has 14 such games.
