Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler let out a stern warning to LeBron James and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Sunday.

Shortly after Butler gave the Heat a nine-point advantage with 1:15 left in regulation, the two-way superstar jawed at James and said the Lakers are now in trouble.

 

Apart from some good old fashioned trash talk directed at LeBron, Jimmy Butler also let his game do the talking on Sunday. He finished with a remarkable triple-double performance of 40 points on 14-of-20 shooting from the field, along with 13 assists, 10 rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 45 minutes of action. The Heat All-Star made sure his team won't go down a 3-0 hole as he led Miami to a spirited 115-104 win to cut the Lakers' lead, 2-1, in their best-of-seven series.

Butler, of course, loves to play mind games with his opponents and he definitely gave James something to think about before Game 4 on Tuesday.
