Jimmy Butler sends message to Miami Heat teammates after Boston Celtics buzzer-beater

Jimmy Butler gave an honest reaction after the Miami Heat lost to the Boston Celtics in Game Six of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.

The Celtics claimed a 104-103 win in Game Six to level the series at 3-3, with Derrick White scoring a buzzer-beating bucket to secure the victory. Marcus Smart had missed a three-pointer in the closing seconds, before White tipped in the rebound at the rim.

It’s the first time that a team in NBA history has levelled a series at 3-3 after being 3-0 down since the 2003 Portland Trail Blazers. Before them it was the 1994 Denver Nuggets and the 1951 New York Knicks, but all three would lose their Game Seven afterwards.
