#4 – 27 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks, 4 assists in 44 minutes

Yet another showcase of Jimmy Butler’s ability on both ends of the court, this game was another win, this time against Toronto in 2014.

Butler managed a career-high five blocks, and shot 43.8 percent on his way to 27 points. He was also flawless from the free throw line, managing a perfect 11-for-11.

Twenty-seven points on its own is a huge performance, but throw in five blocks and you know something special took place. Butler shone on both ends of the court this game, with stats that Thibodeau, and us Wolves fans, would love to see next season.

Another big-minute performance from Butler proved worthwhile, as he lifted the Bulls to a win, and threw some big numbers down to boot.

Keep in mind, this is only number four on our list…. things just keep on getting better.
