Jimmy Butler is single-handedly taking over Game 4, with or without the help of his Bulls teammates. A slow start for Chicago quickly gave way to The Butler Show, with the Bulls guard scoring 23 first-half points, including this buzzer-beater to pull his team back within striking distance. They're tied at 50 at the half.
Jimmy Butler puts the Bulls on his back with huge buzzer-beating shot

Typically you’d see a statistic like 23 points in two quarters and assume it was from a volume shooter trying to do everything. This wasn’t the case from Butler. Yes, he’s doing it all, but he has been incredibly efficient as well. He’s shooting 8-of-12 from the field, including 3-of-5 from beyond the arc, while adding another three rebounds and two assists.
Milwaukee is trying its best to counter with Khris Middleton, but thus far we're seeing that a good defensive player is no match for one of the up-and-coming elite wings in the NBA. If nothing else, this series has been Butler's coming-out party. He's finally getting national recognition for something die-hard NBA fans knew before -- yes, Butler is really that good.
