Miami Heat Looking To Get Jimmy Butler Back In His "Comfort Zones"

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler had his worst game of the postseason Thursday against Boston Celtics in Game 5

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was in the middle of one of the best postseasons in NBA history. 

And then Thursday night happened. 

Butler finished with just 14 points on 5 of 10 shooting. It was easily his worst performance of these playoffs, resulting in the Heat falling for a second straight to the Boston Celtics.  

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said working Butler back in the flow is the priority before Saturday's Game 6 in Miami. The Heat still lead 3-2 in the best-of-7 series. 

"Our offense was disjointed a little bit," Spoelstra said. "We weren't able to initiate our offense, get the ball where needed to go in spots where we're able to operate. If we can get Jimmy in his comfort zones, strength zones consistently, it'll be just fine. We'll work on that the next 48 hours."
