Jimmy Butler on Heat-Pelicans brawl: ‘We’ll beat them the next time, too, we’re just a better team’

Butler said he would not be surprised if some of the intensity from Friday’s game carries over to the clubs’ next meeting in Miami on March 22. “We’ll beat them the next time, too,” Butler said after the game. “We’re just a better team. “Our team is so ready for anything that anybody’s thrown at us,” Butler added. “We’re so together, playing some incredible basketball. I don’t think it matters who we go up against right now. It’s that time of the year.”
