MIAMI (AP) — NBA playoff scoring leader Jimmy Butler was with the Miami Heat for their film session Thursday.

And if Heat coach Erik Spoelstra has an answer, he’s not tipping his hand. Butler missed Game 2’s 111-105 win for the Knicks because of the ankle. He sprained it with about 5 minutes left in Miami’s Game 1 victory at Madison Square Garden. Game 3 is Saturday when the series shifts to Miami.
