In the first half of the Bulls’ Sunday road game against the Raptors, Jimmy Butler scored two points and went back to the locker room to get a bloody lip stitched up. He came back out for the second half and dropped 40 points. Not only did his outburst lead the Bulls to a comeback win after being down 15, he set a new franchise record for points in a half, surpassing a previous mark held by some guy named Michael Jordan:

Jimmy Butler did more in two quarters than most do in a full game.

Not that Butler wanted to be compared to Jordan.
