QUOTABLE
Heat forward Jimmy Butler on the end of Friday’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks: “I probably should have shot, to be honest. I think I could have. I thought I saw [the defender] make a move to get a double-double. I passed the ball to Caleb. I think I put him in a terrible position because I should have been the one to shoot and take that shot.”
