Jimmy Butler Says Heat Will Beat Pelicans in Next Matchup: 'We're Just a Better Team'

A chippy fourth quarter that resulted in four players ejected stole the spotlight from the Miami Heat's 106-95 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night.

Jimmy Butler, who was among those ejected, made it clear he believes the Heat will get the best of the Pelicans when they play again on March 22.

"We'll beat them the next time too," Butler told reporters after the game. "We're just a better team. Our team is so ready for anything that anybody's thrown at us. We're so together, playing some incredible basketball. I don't think it matters who we go up against right now.
