If the Heat hold on and win this Eastern Conference finals, they may want to send Grant Williams a thank-you note.
And now, with a 2-0 series lead heading home, Miami is heavily favored to reach the NBA Finals with a team that didn't figure to make it out of the first round.
That game took place April 11. The next day, the national discourse surrounding the Heat focused largely on whether this iteration built around Butler, with an aging Kyle Lowry and a bunch of no-name role players, was still viable. It’s so strange, too, because Boston has been in far too many big playoff games to lose on toughness and mental mistakes. And yet the gap with Miami in those areas was glaring.
But Williams’ urge to trash talk on his way by Butler after hitting a 3-pointer with 6:37 left was just not a very smart compulsion to act on. It carried all the way down the floor until a foul after Butler scored 1-on-1, ending with Butler appearing to scream “Let’s go!” at him once they were separated.
For one thing, Miami is just shooting the ball better — 37.5 percent from three in the playoffs vs. 34.4 percent in the regular season — but the big surprise is how well its role players have performed. The Heat are essentially giving starters’ minutes to three guys who went undrafted, and all of them are holding up beyond imagination.
