Jimmy Butler posted 35 points and the Miami Heat rallied to beat the Boston Celtics 123-116 in the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday night. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 30 points.
The Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra spoke on the importance of Jimmy Butler after the Heat took Game 1 over the Celtics 123-116 on the road at TD Garden.
“You can’t quantify it,” said Spoelstra on Butler’s impact. “There’s no analytic to it. Just the feeling of stability in the locker room … There’s just a settling effect that is impossible to quantify.”
