Jimmy Butler boldly declares the Heat 'will win this series' after dropping Game 5 to Celtics

If Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is sweating after losing two straight games to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals, he's not showing it. Following the team's 110-97 loss in Game 5, Butler confidently declared the Heat "will win this series."

Butler made those comments after posting his worst game in the series. Butler went 5-of-10 from the field, scoring 14 points in the loss. It was a far cry from earlier in the series, where Butler dropped 35 points in a Game 1 win and 27 points in a Game 2 win.
