Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat won Game 2 of the NBA Finals, 111-108, in Denver on Sunday night to even the series as it shifts to Miami for the next two games.
Miami jumped out to a big lead early, then fell behind by double digits before rallying back in the second half to hand the Nuggets their first home loss since March 30.
Butler was a key player for the Heat once again, as he finished with 21 points and also played some tough defense on Jamal Murray for most of the night.
After the game, Butler shared this message about his team’s mentality:
"I think it's the, 'I don't give a damn' factor." 💯@JimmyButler on Miami's mentality throughout the season pic.twitter.com/bwOk2LETb5
