Jimmy Butler is confident the Miami Heat will stand tall in Game 7 vs the Boston Celtics and will advance to the NBA Finals for the firt time since 2020.
After coming back from a 3-0 deficit, Boston will have the chance to close out the series and reach the NBA Finals for the second straight year and become the first team ever to win a series after trailing 3-0. But, Butler believes his team will avoid a major upset and will close out the series at TD Garden.
Jimmy Butler will be looking for a more consistent showing after scoring 15 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game while shooting just 5 of 21 from the field.
“I just missed shots,” Butler said after Game 6 loss (104-103). “I’ve just got to make them. Continually hit the open guy. Stay aggressive. … I don’t care what nobody say. Everything going to be OK.”
Monday’s matchup will decide who meets the Western Conference champion Denver Nuggets in a title series that will start Thursday.
