Jimmy Butler wants to see the Miami Heat stay alive in the NBA Finals and bring the series back to Miami for Game 6.
Trailing 3-1, the Heat know they will have no other chance to turn things around if they lose Monday’s Game 5 in Denver. But, Jimmy Butler is confident in his team’s ability to turn things around.
“Same thing it’s always been, it’s one game at a time. Now we are in a must-win situation every single game, which we’re capable of. Some correctible things we’ve got to do, but it’s not impossible. We’ve got to go out there and do it. We’ve got three to get.
“No doubt. We don’t have any of that. We don’t have no quit. We are going to continually fight, starting tomorrow, to get better. And then we are going into Monday and do what we said we were going to do this entire time and win. We have to. We have no other choice. Otherwise, we did all this for no reason. The guys know. We know. We’ve got something to do,” Jimmy Butler told media after Miami’s Game 4 loss (108-95).
After losing Game 2 (111-108), the Nuggets came back and won both games in Miami to take a commanding 3-1 series lead. They now have the chance to close out the series and claim the title on Monday’s Game 5 at Ball Arena.
