Heat handle 'adversity' again, tie NBA Finals with Game 2 win

Posted : 05 June 2023
Jimmy Butler thinks there is a clear explanation for why the Miami Heat have endured the most unexpected postseason run in recent memory.
 
Butler gave an explanation for why this specific team, the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference, keeps finding a way to win games after completing a 111-108 victory over the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night to even the series at 1-1.
 
"I just think nobody cares on our team," Butler said, after scoring 21 points and dishing out nine assists in 40 minutes.
 
"We're not worried about what anybody thinks. We're so focused in on what we do well and who we are as a group that at the end of the day, that's what we fall back on. Make or miss shots, we're going to be who we are because we're not worried about anybody else. That's how it's been all year long, and that's not going to change. So that's what I think it is. I think it's the 'I don't give a damn' factor."
 
Butler and Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra have both frequently commended their hard-working team for being able to find a way to triumph no matter the situation. The seasoned coach repeated it following the Heat's most significant victory to date.
 
"We faced a lot of adversity during the season," Spoelstra said.
 
"We handled it the right way where you are not making excuses about it, the injuries, the changing lineups. Because of all that adversity and the 57 close games that happened, due to a lot of that, it hardened us. It steeled us, and we developed some grit, which is what we all want.”
 
"We want to be able to have that privilege of having adversity and being able to overcome it. You gain strength from that. But this is a very tough opponent. They have our full respect, for sure."
