On the night between Sunday and Monday, the Eastern Conference Finals Series will be decided in Game 7 in Florida.
Miami will host Boston, carrying on the wings of excitement from Jimmy Butler's huge performance in Game 6.
"I did it at Dwayne Wade's request, he wanted me to keep the legacy," Butler explained as the source of inspiration for his playoff career high.
The 47 points Butler scored were spectacular, from any range and against any kind of save, personal or double.
He scored whenever he wanted, including Sally Clutch who eliminated the game.

Butler's numbers are staggering, and it's enough to look at the tweet above to understand that.
Butler became the No. 1 Miami scorer of all time, with the highest number of points in the game with the danger of being relegated from the playoffs.
His 47th ousted Wade's 46 and pushed LeBron James' 45th to third.
"We just asked him to score 50 points. He didn't answer, just nodded," Butler's friend told the team, FJ Tucker.
Joining the compliments was Kyle Laurie who excelled himself in the game with 18 points and 10 assists.
"Please do not fine me," Laurie said, "but Butler's show was fucking crazy."
Butler laughed at the words and said: "Fine him, fine him, you fine me all the time."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
