The incident took place a few years ago, when Jimmy Butler was still with the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers were playing the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, and Butler was driving to the basket to score.

Immediately, Jimmy Butler and Kevin Love stood up and started wiping the floor to show that Obi Topin stepped out of bounds.

En route to the NBA Finals, the Heat had to eliminate the New York Knicks. New York had the home-court advantage, but Miami went to MSG in Game 1 and stole the home-court advantage.
