Derrick took one shot in that stretch and scored. Would those open lanes have resulted in more than 12 points on 6 possessions? I know Burton played well, but come on, assuming we'd be better than that is pretty much absurd. That's near flawless offensive execution. Even if it didn't look pretty (and lord knows it didn't), it doesn't get much better than that.

We didn't need more Burton in that stretch, we needed Jimmy Butler.
