After a slow start, the Los Angeles Lakers were able to turn things around and dominate the Miami Heat in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Unfortunately for the Heat the 18-point loss may not have been the worst thing to happen as they also dealt with a number of injuries on the night with the most serious occurring to veteran point guard Goran Dragic.
Though he spent the regular season as Miami’s best player off the bench, Dragic has been a starter for the Heat in the playoffs and has led them in scoring in the postseason at 20.
