Heat forward Jimmy Butler on the end of Friday's loss to Atlanta Hawks: "I probably should've shot it, though, to be brutally honest. I guess I could have. I felt like I saw [the defender] take a step to come double. I passed the ball to Caleb. I think I put him in a terrible situation because I should be the one to take and make that shot."
