But LeBron James came down the other end and made an and-one layup, giving the Los Angeles Lakers the lead back. Butler answered with a turnaround fadeaway. On the other end, James grabbed his own rebound and made a put-back layup to pull LA up 106-105.
It was an epic duel that had all the makings of an instant classic. And there was still more to go.
Butler made four free throws in the final minute of the game, and the Heat held a 109-108 lead with 16.
