Jimmy Butler said there was no lingering bad blood between the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets on Wednesday as the two teams prepared to face off in the NBA Finals. Miami and Denver met in a fiery regular season clash in the 2021-2022 season, when Nuggets star Nikola Jokic poleaxed then Miami player Markieff Morris from behind. That sparked a melee involving players from both sides. A furious Butler challenged Denver's players to settle their differences in the tunnel after the game. Jokic and Morris were both ejected while Jokic was later suspended for one game following the incident at Denver's Ball Arena.
