BOSTON -- Jimmy Butler still believes the Miami Heat are going to close out the Boston Celtics and advance to the NBA finals despite two straight losses that have cut their series lead to 3-2.
After a 110-97 Game 5 loss on Thursday night inside a raucous TD Garden, the Heat have lost by a combined 30 points over the past two potential close-out games. So why is Butler, who walked around the outside of the locker room calmly eating popcorn after the game, still so confident about his team's chances?
"Because the last two games are not who we are," he said.
