Jimmy Butler opened up about spoiling the Lakers’ championship party and helping the Miami Heat remain alive in the NBA Finals.
Butler said he was happy for forcing a Game 6, but Sunday’s game will be even harder.
“I’m sure they (Lakers) wanted to win. Thought they were going to win going into it….I think it’s going to be even harder the next game (for us). And I like our chances,” Butler said, per Clay Ferraro of WPLG.
Butler had 35 points, on 11-of-19 shooting, along with 12 rebounds, 11 assists, five steals and one block in 47 minutes.
The Lakers lost Game 5 (111-108), but still lead the series 3-2.
