In the final seconds of Game 2 between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat, Jimmy Butler and Goran Dragic made three errors that could have cost them the game.
With less than 20 seconds left and up by four points, all Miami had to do was do run down the clock. But then, the Bucks set up a full-court trap for Butler. Instead of calling a timeout, Jimmy threw the ball away that led to a Brook Lopez basket, cutting the Heat's lead to just two.
I mean Jimmy Butler definitely stepped out of bounds before he threw the ball away… Still a turnover but the points shouldn’t count??https://t.co/CDYm4pG7mg

Butler was intentionally fouled in the next possession. But then, he missed one free throw, leaving the door open for the Bucks to tie.
With 7.7 seconds left, Heat just needed to play great defense and not foul the shooter by any means. Unfortunately, Goran Dragic made the critical error of fouling Khris Middleton who then knocked down the three free-throws.

Fortunately for the Heat, Jimmy Butler made up all the crucial errors by winning the game in the charity stripe.
