Heat's Kevin Love Touts Jimmy Butler as NBA's 'Best Closer' Ahead of G6 vs. Knicks

The Miami Heat have the chance to eliminate the New York Knicks at home tonight.

If Kevin Love had to choose a player to close out the Game 6 win, his money would be on teammate Jimmy Butler.

"He is the best closer in the game in my opinion," Love told ESPN's Andrew Lopez Friday.

Love said Butler reminded him of "another player that I've played with for several years," alluding to his time with LeBron James in Cleveland.

"He's somebody who's special, brings it every single night, sets the tone for us," Love said.
