Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler: "We Didn't Deserve To Win"

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler had done everything possible to ensure victory.

He scored a game-high 38 points, including a 3-pointer at the end of regulation to force overtime. So after the Heat wasted his effort by losing 126-114, it was natural for him to express some disappointment.

Butler walked off the court before the clock expired. It was apparent show of frustration after the Heat lost to another team they were supposed to defeat. What made it more disappointing was it came a day after they showed so much promise in a win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"We turned the ball over, didn't get stops," Butler said. "That's never the recipe for winning. They've gave us problems all year long. You've got to tilt you hat to them ... We didn't deserve to win."

The loss left the Heat three games behind the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets for the No. 6 spot in the Eastern Conference standings. If the Heat are unable to gain the ground, they will begin the postseason in the play-in tournament.
