Heat’s Butler fined for not talking to media

MIAMI — Heat star Jimmy Butler was fined $25,000 for not speaking to the media following Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, the NBA announced Tuesday.

Butler has been at the center of the No. 8-seeded Heat’s unbelievable postseason run and has delivered the organization to within a game of another Finals appearance with Game 4 against the Boston Celtics — and a potential sweep — looming Tuesday night.

Miami beat Boston 128-102 in Game 3 on Sunday.

Butler is averaging 29.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists a game over 13 postseason contests.
