Boston Celtics have themselves to blame after missing chance to sign Jimmy Butler

The Boston Celtics had the chance to sign Jimmy Butler before he would move to the Miami Heat later in his career.

Friday night saw the Celtics lose 111-105 to the Heat in Game Two of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals. That loss means that Joe Mazzulla’s side now trail 2-0 in the series going into Game Three on Sunday evening.

Butler was one of the stars for the Heat in the win over the Celtics. He scored 27 points with eight rebounds and six assists, and was only outscored by Celtics forward Jayson Tatum who got 34 points in a losing cause.
