It didn't take Jimmy Butler long to make his presence felt in Philadelphia. In just his third game with the 76ers, Butler drilled a game-winning 3-pointer with just 0.3 seconds left in overtime to stun the Hornets. And in the process steal a big part of the spotlight from Kemba Walker.
Prior to Butler's heroics, Walker was looking like the hero of the night. He was absolutely on fire, hitting big shot after big shot to keep his squad in the game against the new-look Sixers. He was in such a zone that even when his shots were off, they still went in.
In the closing seconds of regulation, he hit two free throws to tie the game and give him 58 points on the night. He added another two in overtime to get to 60, but that was as much as he would get due to the Sixers' swarming defense. Still, it was enough for a career-high, Hornets franchise record and the single-game scoring high this season.
