After dropping the first game on their home turf, the Boston Celtics had some pressure to tilt the momentum back on their side. Unfortunately, the team wasn’t able to do so as they lost their second game in a row to the Miami Heat. As Miami was too much to handle, an ecstatic Jimmy Butler couldn’t help but talk some trash after their Game 2 win over the second-seeded team in the East.

The Boston Celtics lost Game 2 with a final score of 105-111. Even though Jayson Tatum had a good 30+ point scoring game, the Heat managed to turn the tables in the final quarter of the game.

The game was fairly even for the first two quarters. It wasn’t until the second half that Boston came out and finished the third quarter with a sizeable lead. While Celtics fans breathed a sigh of relief, Jimmy Butler and the team quickly changed those into gasps.

After the game was over, Butler could be seen absolutely hyped as the Miami Heat took a 2-0 series lead over the Boston Celtics. He could be seen talking to his teammate Bam Adebayo, saying, “That’s they answer to the Jimmy Butler problem?”
