A large part of the onus has thus fallen on Jimmy Butler, the six-time All-Star veteran forward they traded for in February. But in Game 4 on Monday, he seemed flat and had just 14 points on nine shot attempts. Head coach Steve Kerr told the media that there was a big reason Butler didn't play up to his standards.
