The odds were stacked against the Heat tonight playing with out their star players Bam Adebayo & Goran Dragic, as well as already being down 0-2, but they pulled it out. Jimmy Butler scored 40 points in a triple double with 10 boards and 13 assists. All of the Miami players stepped up as a team tonight, and were relentless. They got an early lead to start the game and even when the Lakers got it close, the win never seemed in doubt. There was no way Jimmy was losing this one.

LeBron filled up the stat sheet with almost a triple-double himself and had a few highlight plays, but at the end he looked defeated. Anthony Davis had a weak game with 15-5-2. Not only is this now a series, but to be honest with you, from the eye test at how that game ended it the Lakers looked scared af and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Heat come back and win the trophy.
