Jimmy Butler has admitted that he needs to be “more aggressive” after the Miami Heat lost the opening game of the NBA Finals to the Denver Nuggets.
The Heat secured a Game Seven victory over the Boston Celtics to set up their Finals appearance. Meanwhile, the Nuggets completed a 4-0 sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers to book their place in the Finals for the first time in the franchise’s history.
Game One on Thursday night was won by the Nuggets, as the Western Conference team claimed a 104-93 victory. Nikola Jokic was, once again, the star for Michael Malone’s team with a historic triple-double.
