After the Heat tied up the NBA Finals series in Game 2 against the Nuggets, Jimmy Butler and company are right where they want to be with Games 3 and 4 in Miami. The Heat, a No. 8 seed, are in the midst of one of the most improbable runs by an NBA team in history and Butler explained that center Bam Adebayo will be the key to his team winning it all.
“Bam has been playing incredibly well this entire playoffs, for sure this series, and this one he got the toughest matchup by far on the defensive side of the ball,” Butler told reporters on Tuesday. “And on the offensive end, he’s doing everything for us. We need him to continue to be that. He has been that for us all year long and like I said, he’s going to be the reason why we win a championship”.
