Although the HEAT fought tooth and nail from start to finish, they couldn’t quite get over the hump and ultimately fell to the Lakers 102-96 Tuesday night at AdventHealth Arena in Orlando and are now down 3-1 in the NBA Finals.
Let’s take a look at some bright spots despite the disappointing result.
1. Bam Returns
After missing Games 2 and 3 with a neck strain, Bam Adebayo made his return to the lineup and wasted little time to get going.
Not only did he kick things off with a fast break layup, but he also came through a fantastic stretch early in the second quarter where he attacked Markieff Morris off the dribble a few times and played great help defense.
