Jimmy Butler scores 40 points out of his 82 in the first half beating Michael Jordan's record of 39 points. "Don't compare me to him," Butler said. "That's exactly what I said [when I found out]. I don't want to be compared to him because then people are going to think I got to do what he did. I'm trying. But we're nowhere near the same player." said Jimmy.
Butler was angry at DeMarre Carroll for elbowing him. "he was upset after being elbowed in the face by Raptors swingman DeMarre Carroll in the second quarter." "He was a man possessed [Sunday]," Bulls forward Taj Gibson said of Butler. "He was so mad, so mad when he got hit in the mouth. You can tell, so much blood flowing everywhere, he was so mad. I've never seen him get that mad before. "He's been in a rough game before, but especially getting his lip busted. But he came back a man possessed. Just going, trying to get stops, kept attacking the basket. It was just one of those nights where you just can't miss. When he hit that corner 3 [in the third], I knew it was his night.'' I'm just happy we won, to tell you the truth," Butler said. "I don't want to be compared to [Jordan] because you see what he's done for this game. I'm just happy we got the win. Points or no points, we're leaving here with the W."
