As Jimmy Butler’s absence drags on, his how-slow-can-you-go approach missed by Heat

Amid all the drama off the court, Saturday’s result on the court offered a reminder of how Jimmy Butler often allows the Miami Heat to be the best version of themselves. Against an opponent that has come to thrive at pace, Erik Spoelstra’s team found itself at a decided deficit against the Atlanta Hawks in the void of Butler’s how-slow-can-you-go offense and his accompanying free throws. “A lot of it was the pace,” Heat guard Tyler Herro said of the 120-110 loss at State Farm Arena, “with them just getting the ball out, even after makes, and running, us not turning our heads and getting back.” The Heat entered aware of what was coming, with the Hawks entering second in the NBA in pace. Such often have been the times when Butler turns games into grinds, with his deliberate approach.
