After the match, shirt 22 gave a press conference to comment on the defeat. Being very sincere, Butler praised the Celtics team and highlighted the return of Marcus Smart and Al Horfordwho had been spared in the first game and returned to greatly improve the franchise’s defensive system Massachusetts.
“He (Marcus Smart) is key to what they (Celtics) do there. On both sides of the court, in fact. He’s certainly been hitting shots, but as the defensive player of the year, every game, having that combination and being able to play both sides of the court, that’s crucial for them. He was largely responsible for their victory tonight, along with Al Horford. They came back and led the franchise to victory, so you gotta respect what he does”, commented.
The winger also spoke about his match performance and called responsibility for the defeat. Armoring the team, Butler said: “I think I was a little offensively selfish. I have to try to use my teammates, they’ve been with me the whole season and I need to focus on that, because when they’re scoring points and they’re aggressive, we’re a much better team.”.
