76ers' Butler after HC Brown calls him James: My name is literally Jimmy

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jimmy Butler produced a classic "Jimmy G. Buckets" outing in Monday's Game 2 win over the Toronto Raptors, prompting Sixers head coach Brett Brown to refer to him with a more formal name.

"This was James Butler," Brown told reporters postgame when reflecting on the four-time All-Star's 30-point, 11-rebound, five-assist performance to help Philly square the series. "That was the adult in the gym ... he was a stud."

However, when Butler was told about Brown's comment, the veteran was quick to point out his proper name.

"My name isn't James," Butler said to a laughing media room. "Literally, it's Jimmy."

It is, as his Basketball Reference page and bio on the team's website show.

Butler became the Sixers' clear spark plug on a night when Joel Embiid, dealing with a stomach bug, was held to 12 points on 2-of-7 shooting. His energy keyed a Philly defense that held Toronto to just 36 percent shooting from the floor and 27 percent from deep.

"All in all it was a team effort," Butler added. "I always go back to defense ... when we're playing like that, guarding like that, we're such a good team. We definitely have to continue to do it."
