The Celtics were able to steal a game in Miami to bring the Eastern Conference Finals to a 3-1 series with Game 5 being back in Boston.

It’ll be another must-win game for the Celtics but they have some momentum to build off of from Game 4 that could potentially carry over into Game 5.

After the loss, Jimmy Butler sat at the podium and told the entire media that this win for the Celtics doesn’t give Boston any momentum for Game 5, but it does for Miami.

"If anything, it'll build momentum for us."

It’s fair to say that the first loss of the series is showing the worst in Butler, as he’s not showing any respect towards the Celtics like he was when they won the first three games of this series.

Game 6 is in Miami on Thursday at 8:30 PM.
