Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler led a record-breaking shooting display from the free-throw line as they claimed a 112-111 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Miami made all 40 of their free throws, breaking the record of 39-for-39 made by Utah Jazz against Portland in 1982.
With 23, Butler is tied with Dominique Wilkins for the second-highest number of foul shots in a game without a miss.
Butler scored a game-high 35 points in total, his final free throw with 12 seconds remaining proving to be the game-winner as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s attempted three-pointer for Oklahoma City bounced off the rim.
James Harden has the record of most free throws in a game without a miss, scoring 24 for the Houston Rockets in 2019.
