LOOK: Jimmy Butler hits second game-winner for new team 76ers

MANILA, Philippines – In his short time in Philadelphia, Jimmy Butler has proven why the 76ers traded for him. 

Butler, who joined the 76ers in early November following a trade from the Minnesota Timberwolves, lifted his team past the Brooklyn Nets, 127-125, with a game-winner on Sunday, November 25 (November 26, Manila time).

Sizing up Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Butler stepped back just in the nick of time to drain a tough fallaway 3-pointer with .4 of a second left for the game-winning bucket.

It was the perfect highlight to a prolific outing that saw him finish with a team-high 34 points to go with 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 assists.

Interestingly, his clutch shot against the Nets looked almost the same as his game-winner against the Charlotte Hornets last November 18. 

From the same spot, the 29-year-old pulled off a stepback triple with .3 of a second remaining to power Philadelphia to a 122-119 triumph over Charlotte and spoil Kemba Walker’s 60-point explosion.
