Jimmy Butler furiously walked off the court before the game ended as the Miami Heat lost to the Orlando Magic in overtime on Saturday night - and he vented his frustration at the officials.
Butler’s Heat fell 126-114 to the Magic at Amway Center. Butler finished with 38 points in a stellar individual performance - but his, and coach Erik Spoelstra's, anger with the officiating crew may be the headline story when it’s all said and done.
His irritation began when the 33-year-old took an elbow to the face and was called for a foul midway through the game. Butler was then called for a technical foul with 10.4 seconds remaining after he walked off the court and into the locker room while he was still checked into the game, on paper at least.
