Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler reveals areas for improvement after Game 1 loss to Nuggets

Butler was not his usual self as the Heat fell to a Game 1 defeat to the Denver Nuggets.

He played 38 minutes and had 13 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists in what can be considered a rare playoff bad shooting night for the Heat star.

Butler reflected on his performance after the game.

"Maybe I have to be a little bit more aggressive. I've gotta put pressure on the rim. Me with no free throws, that was all on myself, nobody else. Will definitely correct that next game, but only I can do that."

The 2023 NBA Playoffs have been unbelievable for Butler, who has averaged 27.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 2.0 steals per game while shooting 48.1% from the field and 36.1% from three-point range.
