GAME PREVIEW
Oct 05, 2020To the Miami Heat, beating the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 of the NBA Finals was more than just a crucial victory. It showed they could hold their own in the series, even without two of their most potent playoff producers.And so the Heat come in with a renewed sense of confidence as they look to even the best-of-seven showdown in Game 4 on Tuesday night at the NBA bubble near Orlando. Miami dropped its first two against Los Angeles by double-digit margins before responding with a 115-104 win Sunday that swung the momentum in its favor, at least for the time being."We're going to win," Heat swingman Jimmy Butler said of Game 4. "We're going to compete. We're not going to lay down; we're going to fight back in this thing and even it up 2-2." Butler almost singlehandedly led Miami to its triumph Sunday, scoring 40 points to go with 13 assists and 11 rebounds in his first career playoff triple-double. He accomplished the feat while playing 45 minutes for the second consecutive game, as Goran Dragic (foot) and Bam Adebayo (neck/shoulder) remained sidelined by their injuries sustained in Game 1."How else do you say it other than Jimmy effing Butler," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of his star's big performance. "This was a very urgent game, and he was doing it on both ends of the court. Just put his imprint on every important part of the game." Good news for Butler: Adebayo has been upgraded to questionable for Game 4, saying Monday the decision would be up to the team's medical staff. Dragic was once again listed as doubtful."I'm doing everything I can do," Dragic said. "It does feel better than when it happened. But we'll see. I don't have a timetable yet." Though getting Adebayo back would be a boon for the Heat, the Lakers can take solace knowing they remain in control of the series."I don't feel like we're concerned," Los Angeles star LeBron James said after his team's Sunday loss. "We're not concerned. We know we can play a lot better. We have another opportunity to take a commanding lead on Tuesday. You relish that opportunity." A clear area where Los Angeles can improve is in turnovers. The Lakers committed 10 in the first quarter alone in Game 3, one more than they had total in Game 2. They finished the contest with 20, James being responsible for eight and Anthony Davis five.Davis was further bogged down by foul trouble -- he was called for three in the first half alone -- and finished with 15 points. James had 25 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists."I just have to be better," Davis said. "Both ends of the floor. Foul trouble, bringing the energy to the team -- the team relies on me bringing the energy to start the game. When you pick up two fouls, guys come in earlier, things like that. So I just have to be better." The Lakers haven't dropped back-to-back games all postseason."I like how we respond after losing a game," Los Angeles reserve forward Markieff Morris said.--Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Oct 07, 2020LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. LeBron James woke up from his gameday nap Tuesday and decided it was time to send his Los Angeles Lakers teammates a message.He grabbed his phone and told the Lakers they were facing a must-win game.''I felt that vibe. I felt that pressure,'' James said. ''I felt like, for me personally, this was one of the biggest games of my career.'' Message delivered.James and the Lakers are back in control of these NBA Finals, one win away from the franchise's 17th championship. James finished with 28 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists, Anthony Davis' 3-pointer with 39.5 seconds left finally settled matters and the Lakers beat the Miami Heat 102-96 in Game 4.The Lakers lead 3-1 and can win the title when the series resumes Friday.''Big-time play. Big-time moment,'' James said of Davis' 3-pointer. ''Not only for A. D., but for our ballclub and for our franchise.'' Davis finished with 22 points, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 15 and Danny Green added 10 for the Lakers, who didn't trail at any point in the final 20-plus minutes. The Lakers are now 56-0 this season when leading going into the fourth quarter.Jimmy Butler scored 22 points for Miami, which got 21 from Tyler Herro, 17 from Duncan Robinson and 15 from Bam Adebayo - who returned after missing two games with a neck injury.''I just loved seeing our guys compete. I love how they respond in between those four lines,'' Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. ''This was a throwback game and there were some moments of truth there at the end, and probably the bottom line is they won those moments of truth.'' He's right. Whenever Miami had something going, the Lakers snuffed it out.James' 3-pointer with 8:18 left in the third put the Lakers up 55-54 and set the tone for the way the rest of the night was going to go; L. A. leading, Miami chasing.''Like I always say, they're a really, really, really good team and we've got to play damn near perfect to beat them,'' Butler said. ''We didn't do that tonight. ... We'll watch this, learn from it, but we can't lose another one.'' The Lakers were up by seven with 2:27 left in the third after a 3-pointer by Davis; Miami scored the next six to get within one. Herro made a 3 early in the fourth to get Miami within one again; the Heat promptly fouled Markieff Morris on a 3-point try, and he made all three shots.Butler scored inside to tie the game with 6:27 left; James scored the next five points himself, including a three-point play where he ended up flat on his back after spinning the ball perfectly off the glass for a score on a drive while taking contact.''You have to credit our guys' competitive spirit,'' Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. ''They were flying around and just competing at an extremely high level that end of the floor.'' A bounce here, a bounce there. Those were the differences late, and the Lakers made their own breaks.Butler had a corner 3 that would have given Miami the lead rim out with 3:05 left; Caldwell-Pope made a corner 3 at the other end seven seconds later and the Lakers were up 93-88. Miami then turned the ball over on a shot-clock violation; Caldwell-Pope scored on a drive for a seven-point lead.James said the job isn't done. But he knows the Lakers are on the brink.''I love what we did tonight,'' James said.TIP-INSLakers: Dwight Howard nearly collided with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver while leading the Lakers out of the locker room for pregame warmups. ... The Lakers were 14 for 39 on 3-pointers, making them 59 for 166 in the series. Before this year, the Lakers' record for 3s in a finals were 43 made and 125 attempts - both of which were surpassed this year in the first three games.Heat: Point guard Goran Dragic (torn left plantar fascia) went through an on-court workout before the game with hopes of being able to play for the first time since the first half of Game 1, but was ruled out again shortly afterward. ... Robinson's first 3-pointer Tuesday was his 50th of the playoffs, meaning he and Jae Crowder are the first duo in Heat history with 50 postseason 3s apiece. They're the fourth teammates in NBA history to pull off that feat.3-1 LEADSThis is the 36th time that a team has held a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals. Of the previous 35, the team with the lead has gone on to win the title 34 times - James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 becoming the exception when they won three straight games to defeat Golden State.In the 3-1 Finals situation, the series has ended in five games 51.4% of the time (18 instances), in six games 40% of the time (14 instances) and in seven games 8.6% of the time (three instances).RARE HALFThe Lakers led 49-47 at halftime. It was just the third time in the last 26 NBA Finals games that neither team reached 50 points in the first 24 minutes. Tuesday's was the 1,140th game played this season and just the 35th occurrence of both teams scoring 49 or less by the break, which works out to 3.1% of the time.---More NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA and https://twitter.com/-Sports
