Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was clearly feeling it from the start. 

He opened with a strong first quarter and just never stopped. Butler scored a franchise-record 56 points in the Heat's 119-114 victory against the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 4. They are one victory from bouncing the top seed in the Eastern Conference from the playoffs. 

Here are the takeaways: 

-Butler got going early by scoring 22 points in the first quarter, which tied Dwyane Wade's franchise record. He did this despite Bam Adebayo sidelined with foul trouble. 

-Let's keep the Butler theme going. With the Heat in danger of the series being tied at 2, he was the catalyst in a 13-0 run midway through the fourth quarter. Butler scored nine points during the stretch. 

-Oh wait, there's more Butler. He put the Heat ahead for good with a 27-foot 3-pointer with 1 minute, 20 seconds remaining. Mr. Clutch then sealed the deal with a step-back jumper on the next possession.
