Jimmy Butler was the star of Game 1.
But Erik Spoelstra may be the bigger story.
Butler had the basketball in his hands almost every fourth-quarter possession for the Miami Heat in Wednesday’s Eastern Conference Finals opener in one of those sun-rises-in-the-East moments. He’s the star. Of course he gets the ball. He filled up the box score in the Heat’s 123-116 win, too. Coaching 101, right?
