Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler served as the Batman who came through and delivered for his team who finds itself on the brink of elimination. He put up a triple-double performance with 35 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists.
Luckily for him, he also found a Robin in shooting guard Duncan Robinson who broke out with 26 points, five rebounds and seven three-pointers to lift the Heat to a 111-108 victory.
The five-time NBA All-Star highlighted the impact that the former undrafted player had on the win and the important role that he will continue to play for them in their remaining games, as posted by SportsCenter on Twitter.

Duncan Robinson found himself in a slump during their recent games. He opened Game 1 of the Finals without a single point scored through 27 minutes of action. He followed it up with a nine-point contribution in Game 2 along with 13 points in Game 3.
He started to get on the uptrend when he improved on his previous tally and put up 17 points in the Heat's Game 4 loss. Despite his struggles, Robinson got his groove back at the right moment when the Los Angeles Lakers were attempting to mount their comeback to get back in Game 5.
His explosion from three-point country helped the Heat to answer back to the dominant performances put up by Lebron James who had a 40-point output along with 13 rebounds and Anthony Davis who tallied 28 points and 12 rebounds.
The entire Heat Nation will be expecting strong performances from both Butler and Robinson once again as the team aims to win another game and extend the series to a deciding Game 7.
