The NBA offseason is right around the corner. For the Boston Celtics, a lot needs to be looked at. Although they reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the third time in the four years, a glaring need has yet to be completed.
Everyone was ready to count out the Miami Heat. There were debates on national TV shows about who should win finals MVP between LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Radio shows were talking about Dwight Howard getting his first ring. There was very little talk about the Heat heading into Game 5.
The Miami Heat had plenty of opportunities to tie this series and fell short. Like last game, Miami showed their defensive toughness early, making it difficult for the Los Angeles Lakers to score in the half-court. However, the Lakers snatched more 50-50 balls and made more plays in the end.
The Miami Heat got back into the series against the Los Angeles Lakers with a 115-104 win Sunday night. Led by Jimmy Butler’s triple-double, the short-handed Heat found a way to extend the series.
It’s now official. There won’t be a sweep in these NBA Finals. This was about the Miami Heat’s will to not quit with the odds stacked up against them. When the Los Angeles Lakers retook the lead in the fourth quarter, the Heat responded. Miami played more physical on the defensive end, making the Lakers work on the offensive end. Fueled by Jimmy Butler’s performance, the Heat defeated the Lakers 115-104. With the victory, Miami now trails the series 2-1.
Though shorthanded, the Miami Heat put up a fight, trimming an 18-point deficit down to nine multiple times.
However, it wasn’t enough. The star power of the Los Angeles Lakers was just too much to overcome as Miami fell 124-114.
The first game of the NBA Finals is in the books. And it wasn’t a good start for the Miami Heat. After trailing the Heat by 13 points in the first period, the Los Angeles Lakers dominated the game the rest of the way.
