Miami Heat broke 40-year-old record in a 112-111 win over Oklahoma City Thunder

Jimmy Butler led a record-breaking shooting display from the free-throw line as the Miami Heat 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 against Portland in 1982

Weve been a very good free-throw shooting team all year, but thats crazy, said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra

Butler scored a game-high 35 points in total - his final free throw with 12 seconds remaining proving to be the game-winner

I had no idea, said the six-time NBA All-Star Im more excited that we won this game by one point

James Harden has the record for most free throws in a game without a miss, scoring 24 for the Houston Rockets in 2019

Curry was back from an 11-game absence but that was not enough for the defending champions to avoid a 125-113 home defeat by the Suns
