Watch: Jimmy Butler blows a wide-open layup

Down four points late to the Denver Nuggets, Miami called a great out-of-bounds play after a timeout. Butler circled Nikola Jokic and made a delayed cut to the basket where he simply missed from point-blank range.
Afterward, Butler looked up suspiciously at the rim that betrayed him.

It was an inglorious end to a battle between All-Star centers Bam Adebayo and Jokic. Adebayo had 19 points, while Jokic flirted with a triple-double, finishing with 27 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists.

All-Star snub Butler also came close to a triple-double, ending up with 24 points, ten rebounds and nine assists. The difference between his game and Jokic's? Jokic took only 14 field goal attempts, and made 12. Butler shot a respectable 8-18, but 9-18 would have looked a lot better on the stat line and on the scoreboard.

Butler may have impressed commissioner Adam Silver in case any team needs an injury replacement for Sunday's game. As for Butler, he says "I'm just happy I get a vacation." He's going to need it to forget about that miss.
