The Miami Heat had the chance to avenge one of their losses this season on Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. It was also another opportunity to put on display to the world exactly what was going on down in South Beach. While the world got the chance to see that this Miami Heat team can be the real thing after a few more tinkers and upon returning to full health, they were not able to successfully avenge the road loss they took from the Lakers a little while back.
The game was pretty back and forth throughout, with the Miami Heat mostly dominating the first half, taking an eight-point lead into the second half at 59-51.
