Heat forward Jimmy Butler on the offensive struggles: “I think the way the offense was running the first three quarters was good but still not where we need it to be.
We just got to be better in some of the different aspects of the game. Our offense has been horrendous the past couple of games.
Defense ain’t been too much better, either. We’re in that cycle again where we’re not making shots, where the offense isn’t going the way we want it to go.”
