Jimmy Butler and the Heat had hoped to win Game 4 in the Eastern Conference finals at home Tuesday and punch their tickets to the NBA Finals. But the Celtics had different plans, rallying back in the second half to save their season with a 116–99 win and force a Game 5 on Thursday in Boston.
Butler met with the media following the game (something he didn’t do after Game 4 and was punished by the league for it), and he had a surprising take on where the momentum now sits in this series.
The Heat star seems quite comfortable heading back to Boston:
"If anything, it'll build momentum for us."
