The Miami Heat improved an NBA record more than 40 years old by beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 112-111: Led by Jimmy Butler, the Heat converted all 40 free throws in the game, one more than the Utah Jazz in December 1982. Butler came on 35 points and hit from the free-throw line on his 23 attempts – with the last one, the Heat’s star player gave his team a decisive lead shortly before the end. Only two players in NBA history have 24 successful free throws in a game without a miss: James Harden and Dirk Nowitzki.
