Jimmy Butler's heroics in Heat's Game 6 win had the Twitterverse talking

The Eastern Conference finals are heading back to South Beach, as there will be a Game 7 between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics.

Miami put together a gritty performance, staving off elimination with a 111-103 win in Game 6. Jimmy Butler rebounded from two subpar games in a row, dropping 47 points along with 9 rebounds and 8 assists. His 47-point outburst ranks second in Heat playoff history, trailing only LeBron James' 49 against the Brooklyn Nets in 2014, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.

Heat players like Udonis Haslem and P.J. Tucker used Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green's words as motivation. Green predicted that his team would face the Celtics in the NBA Finals after the Warriors won the Western Conference finals Thursday.

«Tell Draymond I said I appreciate it,» Tucker told SportsCenter host Scott Van Pelt in a postgame interview.

Butler mentioned a pregame call with Heat legend Dwyane Wade as a source of inspiration for his performance Friday night. His big-time outing elicited reactions from former teammate and Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid, among others.

«Mama there goes that man»
