LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Before these NBA Finals reach what seems like an inevitable conclusion, all hail the team that hates this sentence. The Miami Heat does not want our pats on the back, even if pats on the back were safe right now. As Erik Spoelstra said Friday night, “We don’t give a s--- what everybody else thinks.”
Miami trails the Lakers 2-0 in the series. The Heat now must win four out of five games against LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and they must do it without Bam Adebayo and Goran Dragic, or with an injured Adebayo and Dragic.
