Miami Heat, Jimmy Butler in same spot as last season after magical NBA Finals run comes up short

For the third time in the last four seasons, Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler sat at the postgame podium and reflected on a magical playoff run that came up just short.

The 33-year-old, whose Heat lost in five games to the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals, said Monday night that he believes the Heat can still win a championship.

“I’ve had some helluva teammates come through and compete with me and give us the opportunity to win a championship,” Butler said. “I still believe, with everything in me, that we will do as a team here, as an organization, as a city in Miami.
