Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Jimmy Butler: "Players coming in should study Jimmy Butler. You don't need to be a volume shooter. You don't need to have the ball in your hands all the time to be able to impose your will offensively. He just is a really smart basketball player and he knows how to win games, particularly when games are competitive and close."
