The Miami Heat were supposed to get one back on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks in their Game 3 matchup. That never happened. Miami star Jimmy Butler spoke out after his team was blown out yet again by Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, and as it turns out, Jimmy had a sense about what was to come for his Heat.
When asked to give his thoughts on Miami's deflating 113-84 blowout loss, Butler was brutally honest with his response:
“I'm not surprised,” Butler told reporters after the game (via Ruthie Polinsky of NBC). “It's basketball. It's part of it. Keep our heads up, keep working, try to get this one on Saturday.”
Butler was clearly disappointed with how his team came out flat against the Bucks on Thursday. The five-time All-Star actually had a noteworthy performance, logging a team-high 19 points on 7-of-17 shooting, to go along with eight rebounds, six assists, a steal, and two three-pointers. It was nothing close to enough for Miami though, as Milwaukee dominated the game from the get-go. The Heat simply stood no chance.
As Butler said, the Heat have no choice here but to keep their heads up. They may be down 3-0 at this point, but the series is not yet over. If there's one thing we know about this Miami side is that they have no quit in them. Their season may be over, but they certainly won't go down without a fight. Jimmy Butler will see to that.
