After a record-low two free throws in Game 1, Jimmy Butler implores the Heat to attack

Posted : 02 June 2023
In Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, the Miami Heat attempted only two free throws, setting an NBA postseason record for fewest attempts in a game.
 
Following that, Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler pledged to make more attempts to score in Game 2 on Sunday night. When asked why the offence had such a hard time getting into a rhythm, he answered without hesitation.
 
"Probably because we shot a lot of jump shots, myself probably leading that pack, instead of putting pressure on the rim," Butler said after scoring just 13 points.
 
"Getting lay-ups, getting to the free throw line. When you look at it during the game, they all look like the right shots.
 
"And I'm not saying that we can't as a team make those, but got to get more layups, got to get more free throws. And whenever you miss and don't get back, the game gets out of hand kind of quickly. We gave up too many lay-ups, which we also can't have happen. But that's it as a whole. We've got to attack the rim a lot more, myself included."
 
Erik Spoelstra, the coach of the Miami Heat, praised the Nuggets' defence for setting the tone despite liking the 3-point shots his team was making.
