连输两场且近五场已三败的公牛
今作客青赛仍不幸100-105败北
双方三节战完是75-75平
未料第四节开局青赛一波12-2的攻势底定了战果
而这波攻势期间Jimmy Butler刚好在板凳上休息
此役拿下生涯得分新高（36分）的Jimmy Butler
对总教练Hoiberg在决胜节一早让他调节体力之举并不感激
事实上，他表示Hoiberg拒绝自己第四节续留场上的要求
也许是近来输到上火，赛后他余怒未消:
"I told Fred not to take me out at the beginning of the fourth," Butler said. "I wanted to play because that's when we give up those leads, at the beginning of the fourth. Nothing against my teammates, but I think if I'm out there and I get their energy going the right way, now take me out and let me rest. But the energy's going, the energy's flowing. I think I got to start playing at the beginning of the fourth quarter." [...]
"[He said] I need a rest," Butler said. "I'm like, 'Man, I can handle an extra 45 seconds to a minute. Just let me get the energy going, get a stop here or there, and get us going in the right direction to start the fourth.'" [...]
"They got off to a 12-2 start on us," Hoiberg said of the fourth quarter, before Butler's comments. "You got to come out with greater urgency. I thought our effort was really good most of the night. [We] had too many turnovers in that first half. They scored 25 points on our 18 turnovers. But they came out and threw the first punch in the fourth quarter and got us on our heels a little bit and then got back into it. But that was it
