Jimmy Butler Trolled Celtics After Heat’s Game 2 Win, and Fans Loved It

The Miami Heat won Game 2 of their first-round series with the Boston Celtics, 111-101, on Wednesday night to even the series as it shifts to Miami.

What made the victory so surprising is that the Heat were able to do it without their leader, Jimmy Butler, who remains out with a knee injury suffered against the Philadelphia 76ers in the play-in game last week.

While Butler didn't suit up for the game, he did had some fun after it as he trolled the Celtics on Instagram with a photoshopped image of his head on Jaylen Brown's body and a line used by Brown during last year's playoff matchup with the Heat after Boston went down 3-0 in that series:
