The Miami Heat, just like the rest of the NBA, were shocked by the Boston Celtics on Saturday night.

The Heat couldn’t complete the job at home and now are heading to Boston to try to beat a team that is playing at a high level.

The Celtics never stopped trying and won the game in the final second thanks to Derrick White’s incredible play.

Following the game, Jimmy Butler shared his reactions to this situation, revealing that if he played better, Miami would be in a much better position.

“So, we still got a job to do at the end of the day and we will be in this thing together, home, away, on the road. Like I told the guys on the bench, I told the guys in the locker room that if I play better, we’re not even in this position. Honestly speaking. And I will be better and that’s what makes me smile because those guys follow my lead, so when I’m playing better, I think we’re playing better as well.”

“If I play better, we’re not even in this position.”

Butler knows he and his team blew a big chance to close out this series and advance to the NBA Finals.

They stayed close and took the lead with 3 seconds left on the clock.

He made three free throws to give his team the lead but none of that helped them after the final play.

Game 7 will be crucial for the Celtics, as they’re ready to make history and become the first team to come back from an 0-3 deficit in NBA history.
