[ad_1]

THE Miami Heat postponed the definition of the champion of NBA in the 2019/2020 season. With a spectacular performance by Jimmy Butler in an electrifying match, he defeated the Los angeles lakers by 111 to 108, reducing their disadvantage in the league decision to 3 to 2. Now, the series will have a sixth game, on Sunday, at 8:30 p.m. (Brasilia time).

The Lakers won the first (116 to 98) and the second meeting (124 to 114), and the Heat reacted in the third (115 to 104). In the fourth, the Los Angeles team triumphed 102-96. Now, then, Miami won for the second time. And he will have to do it two more times to win the NBA title; if he wins on Sunday, the seventh game will be next Tuesday.

If he achieves this feat, it will surely be thanks to the talent of Butler, who closed Friday night in the “bubble” of the NBA at the Disney complex in Florida with a triple-double of 35 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. Duncan Robinson contributed 26 points for Miami.

Although he was defeated, the basket of the night was Lebron, with 40 points, responsible, along with Butler, for a show in Game 5 of the NBA final. And the star also had 13 rebounds and seven assists. Anthony Davis, despite being injured in the first quarter, was another highlight, with 28 points and 12 rebounds.

THE GAME – The start of the game was dominated by defenses and the Lakers’ poor lane lead, which led the team to open a five-point lead. Only Heat reacted towards the end of the quarter. He had an eight-point streak late in the quarter and saw Anthony Davis complain of a lot of pain in his right ankle, leaving the court. Thus, the Miami team ended the period with an advantage of 25 to 24.

That difference reached 11 points in the second quarter, when the Lakers did not have Davis on the court. That’s when LeBron began to shine on the court to keep his team alive in the game. He closed the first half with 21 points, 15 of which only in the second period. Davis also returned to court. But Miami had Butler on a spectacular night, having gone into halftime with 22 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

The third quarter was more balanced than the previous ones, also with the more constant teams. Butler and LeBron continued to lead their teams, but the Lakers looked slightly superior in the car, preventing Het from taking off. But the Florida team had a better defensive performance at the end of the quarter, which ended up being decisive to start the fourth quarter by winning 88-82, especially because of Robinson’s accuracy in the shots of three.

The fourth period was also hotly contested. Miami looked like they were going to take off when they were 93-82. But the Lakers didn’t let their opponents rest, be it because of Davis’ strength on defense or because of LeBron’s offensive leadership. And at 6:20 am at the end of the fourth period, a three-pointer by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope put the team ahead 97-96, their first lead since the first quarter.

From there, teams started making more mistakes than usual. Duncan Robinson made an incredible 3-pointer to put the Heat ahead 101-99. And then the Butler-LeBron duel escalated, with the stars trading baskets. At 21s8 it was a Davis basket that put the Lakers ahead 108-107. At 16s8, two free throws made by Butler sent the Heat ahead again.

The Lakers had a chance to win on Danny Green’s triple. But even free, he failed. Tyler Herro also made free throws to secure the Heat’s victory 111-108, securing at least a sixth game in the NBA decision.
