The Miami Heat utterly dominated the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday thanks in large part to two things: team defense and Jimmy Butler.

The impressive display from the Heat side caught the attention and drew praise from none other than Los Angeles Lakers icon Magic Johnson, who even whipped out the mind-blown emoji over Miami's defensive display.

“Miami’s defense was awesome tonight holding Trae Young to just 9 points! 🤯,” said the Laker legend.

The Heat tortured Trae Young on the defensive end. He was limited to just nine points on 3-for-11 shooting in the contest. Miami took away the paint from the diminutive point guard, forcing him to take 10 of his 11 shots from beyond the arc.

On the other side of the ball, Jimmy G. Buckets reminded everyone that he's a potent scorer when he decides to hunt for his shot. Butler was ultra aggressive all game for the Heat, tallying 36 points on 12-for-21 shooting from the field to go along with 12 trips to the free throw line. The all-around All-Star also piled on 10 rebounds, four assists, and four steals.

The Heat are living up to the billing as the top seed in the East thus far. They'll go as far as Jimmy Butler's broad shoulders can carry them.
