Against all odds, the Miami Heat have managed to make the NBA Finals a series.
Jimmy Butler was the best player on the court opposite LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and his Heat outworked their Los Angeles Lakers in a 115-104 win that trimmed Miami’s series deficit to 2-1. The victory comes with the hope that injured Heat stars Bam Adebayo and Goran Dragic can return before their season is over. Both are desperate to play after respective neck and foot injuries cost them a second straight game.
“They can be beat, as long as we do what we’re supposed to do” Butler told ESPN afterwards.
