In the last 12.9 seconds, the Heat’s leading player Jimmy Butler not only scored the equaliser, but also got the free throw opportunity. His 23rd free throw in a single game broke the net steadily, which not only helped the team win the Thunder Team 112:111, but also completed a special record with the team, creating a new league record of 40 free throws in a single game.
Before that, the record of the most free throws in a single game was the Jazz’s 39 free throws against the Pioneers on December 7, 1982.
The difference was that the Jazz was the loser and the Heat left the court with a smile.
Erik Spoelstra, the Heat coach, appeared calm after writing a rare record.
“For the Heat, this is the usual Tuesday (US time).” He still praised the team’s competitiveness and the players’ good performance.

Thunder coach Mark Daigneault also couldn’t help praising his opponents. He said: “It’s very admirable to give them affirmation and make all the penalties.”
The Heat has as many as six players on the injured list, including four starters. Butler showed his star value. He finally scored the highest 35 points in the whole game out of 23 free throws. He said that the team always said to find a way to win. Today is a good start. “We won. This is the result of the team. I am proud of you.”
