Heat forward Jimmy Butler on the state of the team: "Everybody just wants to win. It can be anybody’s night when it comes to scoring or getting assists or rebounds. Nobody is chasing stats. We love that. Everybody plays to win. You never know when your number is going to be called. You’ve got so much talent, going all the way down to the end of our bench, that it’s tough whenever you see some DNP’s from some of these guys because they’d showed that they deserve to play. It’s really hard. Much respect to those guys for keeping it professional, coming in every day, helping guys get better. And when their name is called, they’ll be ready to go.”
