2020 NBA Finals Game 6 Preview: Can The Heat Force A Game 7?

Two things about Game 5 of the 2020 NBA Finals: 1) Holy cow that was a game and 2) Jimmy Butler is that dude. 16 lead changes, including eight in the final seven minutes of the game were a part of the story in the Miami Heat’s 111-108 victory on Friday night to stave off elimination and force Sunday night’s Game 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers. With 35 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists, Butler became the sixth player in NBA history to record multiple triple-doubles in the same Finals series, joining Magic Johnson, LeBron James, Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, and Draymond Green.
