The Los Angeles Lakers fell short in the recent contest against the Miami Heat. The game was full of excitement as the Lake show nearly came back from a huge deficit in the final quarter. However, one of the events had NBA Twitter going crazy as LeBron James was emphatically denied a basket.

While in the fourth quarter, Bam Adebayo swatted away a LeBron James attempt.

The Lakers couldn’t get their second road win as they lost to the Heat. Miami took control from the opening quarter itself, taking a huge lead and never letting go. For the purple and gold outfit, it was once again the supporting cast that failed to deliver.

Bam Adebayo sends back LeBron James’ shot

The Lakers never really made their mark in the game as they fell into a deep deficit early in the game. Moreover, the Heat kept coming at the Lakers and did not take a wrong step. However, the Lakers made a commanding effort in the fourth quarter and cut the game close. Adebayo also rejected the King to a layup and had NBA Twitter on fire.

Despite the fight, the Lakers couldn’t successfully complete the comeback. LeBron James finished with 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists to lead the Lakers. Russell Westbrook was also impressive and put up 24 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists. However, apart from this duo, no one really hit it off. Two of the starters failed to score a single point while only two other players crossed double figures.
