NEW YORK -- After Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler scored 31 points on 12 shots and played 40 minutes in a 96-95 overtime victory hat Barclays Center over the Brooklyn Nets, after missing 11 of the previous 12 games with injuries, Butler said he felt no ill-effects from his toe injury.

"I'm straight," said Butler, who despite missing his team's last seven games, hit two free throws with 11 seconds remaining in overtime to secure the win for Miami (24-16), the Heat's ninth victory in its last 13 games.
