[Saba Sports News] After the Miami Heat’s seventh consecutive win against the Brooklyn Nets, Jimmy Butler humorously remarked on teammate Duncan Robinson’s three-point shooting. Despite praising Robinson’s overall skills and confidence, Butler playfully claimed he was not the best three-point shooter on the team at the moment, pointing to his own 50 percent shooting rate from beyond the arc, compared to Robinson’s 36.3 percent.
Butler, who scored a season-high 36 points in the game, emphasized the team’s collective effort and defensive improvements. Robinson also had a strong performance, scoring 26 points with a 60 percent success rate from three-point range. He acknowledged adapting to different NBA coverages and trying to diversify his offensive play, not just focusing on three-pointers.
The friendly banter between Butler and Robinson highlights their camaraderie and the team’s good spirits following their recent success. The Heat now face a challenging five-game road trip, starting with a match against the Chicago Bulls, aiming for their eighth straight win.
