The perpetrator and victim: Grant Williams The bear: Jimmy Butler Consider Butler poked. “I feel like things like that always fuel Jimmy,' Bam Adebayo said. “Yes, it did,' Butler agreed, writes joevardon.
Williams was new to this Eastern Conference finals series as of Game 2, for Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla didn’t bother to play him in Game 1. He was making an impact off the bench and with 6:37 left buried a 3-pointer to put the Celtics up nine.
“I think he said something, and I just responded,” Williams said when asked about it after the game by. “For me, I’m a competitor. I’m going to battle. He got the best of me tonight, and at the end of the day, it’s out of respect. Because I’m not going to run away from it. My mom always taught me that, and my dad as well, you get your ass kicked, you don’t come back home until you battle again.”
Williams, who finished with nine points, scored twice more after the poking. And it’s not like Butler — who finished with 27 points — or the Heat were exactly hibernating before the clash. He shot 12 of 25 in this game with eight rebounds, six assists and three steals., and now trail 2-0 in this series. And the indelible image from Game 2 will be Williams and Butler, grill to grill.“That’s just competition at its finest,” Butler said. “He hit a big shot. Started talking to me; I like that.
