Philadelphia 76ers fans were treated to their first ‘Jimmy Buckets’ moment on Sunday night. While Jimmy Butler has had his fair share of impressive games since being acquired by the Sixers, the win over the Brooklyn Nets will be a memorable one.
Here’s why, courtesy of NBA TV:
The Sixers outscored the Nets 38-23 in the fourth quarter of this comeback which moved them to 14-8 on the season. It was unquestionably Butler’s best performance since joining the team, as he did a little of everything in a dominant effort.
Butler finished the night with 34 points on 11-20 shooting and 5-6 from beyond the arc. He also added 12 rebounds, four steals and two assists for good measure.
But the game-winner with virtually no time left may be the point many Sixers fans point to as one of the most memorable moments from this season when all is said and done.
