The Heat started the game much stronger, breaking 22: 9 in the first half after Kelly Olynyk’s penalty shootout. Later, the rivals closed the gap and the Miami club took a 4-point lead in the long break (58:54).

Lakers strategist Frank Vogel cut the morale of his players during the long break to avoid the bullet by making a small difference. The Heat confirmed their words in the third quarter, starting with a 10: 0 (68:54) streak.

The Miami team held the lead until the middle of the fourth quarter, when District Rondo briefly returned the Lakers lead to 91:89. This triggered a new heat wave, and after Tyler Lord and Jimmy Butlerio the difference in pitches was again more solid (103: 95).

Early in the last minute, Herro hit two points on Rond’s foul, giving the Heat a double-digit lead (112: 102), and the Lakers didn’t come out of the hole.

Butler was the real beast in this game, scoring 40 points in 45 minutes (14/20 two points, 12/14 free throws), rebounding 11, taking 2 and losing 5 balls, making 13 assists, blocking 2 shots, never attacking since far and without transgression.

The Miami club again played without Goran Dragic and Bamo Adebay in this match, making J. Butler’s achievement even more impressive. True, the shoulder injury paused B. Adebayo has already signed up for the match, but has yet to appear on the floor.
