The Miami Heat have now won their 15th game of the season after they defeated the Chicago Bulls, 118-116 in Miami. Jimmy Butler knocked down the game-winner on a step-back jumper from the elbow to give the Miami Heat the victory. Butler spoke postgame about his game-winner and sort of downplayed it. All in all, Butler was happy the Heat got the win.
