Few would describe Heat forward Jimmy Butler—once characterized by Miami coach Erik Spoelstra as having a “Hall of Fame work ethic”—as relaxed.
However, Butler was surprisingly unbothered after the Heat lost Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals 116–99 to the Celtics on Wednesday evening. To wit, he unveiled a memorable quote when asked how Miami planned to rebound from a loss that denied it a chance to clinch a conference title at home.
“We’re gonna listen to some music. We’re gonna drink some beers back there. Gonna have some wine,” Butler said. “I don’t think that you can just focus on basketball all the time. You have to be able to get away from the game a bit.”
