The Miami Heat were defeated in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. While they kept it sort of close, they couldn’t manage to quite get over the hump.
The Miami Heat came out again on Friday night with a chance to get their first win of the 2020 NBA Finals. They started off decently, as they did in Game 1 and this time, they were able to keep it pretty close throughout.
Here’s the thing though, close is only good in horseshoes and grenades. They were unable to overtake the Lakers, who had a stronghold on a lead that always ranged from 9-14 points throughout the game.
