The Chicago Bulls needed an extra five minutes to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers 115-111, and Butler’s performance will deservedly become a national story. His final line: 53 points (15-30 FG, 21-25 FT), 10 rebounds 6 assists, and 3 steals. The Bulls had a guy in the 1990’s who would singlehandedly will them to victory in games where it didn’t look like they had a chance, and that is precisely what the 26-year-old swingman did on a random January night in Philly.
