Coming back from the suspension, Jimmy Butler led his team, the Miami Heat to victory against the Utah Jazz today 126-120. Butler had an incredible run today with a staggering 37 points, 3 rebounds, and 7 assists in this game but that wasn’t the only highlight. In the post-game interview, when Butler was asked what he did to teammate Caleb Martin‘s face, he responded, “The PG-13 were way I got him good. When I hit him, I didn’t know it was him but whoever I hit was leaking and need stitches cos I hit him smooth on.” But that’s not all that Butler said!

In a diabolical yet funny tone, Butler continued, “I just wish it was, nah, you know let me not say that. They gon get me, they gon try to get me.” Even though one cannot say for certain, it seems like Butler may have been referring to one of the Pelicans in the fight that broke out between players from the Heat and the New Orleans Pelicans leading to the suspension of five players including Butler. Amongst the other three was teammate Nikola Jovic while the rest were from the Pelicans, Naji Marshall, Thomas Bryant, and Jose Alvarado.

Teamwork = Dreamwork
