Ahead of Miami reunion, Butler shed light on why his Heat tenure tilted the wrong way and why his time with the Warriors is going so well.

Jimmy Butler’s return to Miami as a member of the Golden State Warriors was never going to be a sentimental affair, and that reality was made clear on Monday while he spoke with reporters. Butler showed little interest in the prospect of being honored with a tribute video during Tuesday’s game against the Heat.

Some fans cheered his introduction. Many jeered him. And whenever he got the ball over the next four quarters, there was plenty of booing from all sides of the arena. In the end, Jimmy Butler's return to Miami couldn't have gone better for the Heat.
