The Denver Nuggets secured a 104-93 victory against the Miami Heat, led by Jimmy Butler, in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Unfortunately, Butler’s performance was lackluster, only scoring 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists with a 42.9% shooting accuracy. At 33 years old, Butler has been crucial to the Miami Heat’s success in this season’s playoffs. However, his disappointing Game 1 resulted in criticism from NBA fans on Twitter. One tweet even ridiculed Butler, saying he was “outscored by a guy named Hayward Highsmith.” The NBA Twitterverse was not kind to Butler after his subpar display in Game 1.
