The Los Angeles Lakers are just one win away from becoming the NBA champions after a decade long wait. They lead the series 3-2 and have the chance to put the series to bed in Game 6 after a disappointing last outing.
The Miami Heat bested LA by 3 points in Game 5 to avoid elimination. What’s more, the basketball gods were on their side as Lakers guard Danny Green bottled a wide-open three towards the end of the game, effectively handing them the win.
The mistake cost the LA-based franchise heavily and overshadowed the amazing performances that LeBron James and Anthony Davis put in.

Ahead of their Game 6 bout, Kyle Kuzma revealed the aftermath of the horrible mistake by DG. “Everyone has been really on edge.
Kyle Kuzma says the Lakers didn't talk very much about Danny Green's final miss and Markieff Morris' turnover.
"We kind of beat ourselves throughout the game to get to that point… It was the right play. It was the right shot, and we just live and die with that."

“Everyone has been really focused on attention to detail and what we have to do with all coverages. Just everything little, all the little things. Everybody is locked in.”
Kuzma further commented on the locker room situation after their fateful ordeal. “We kind of beat ourselves throughout the game to get to that point… It was the right play. It was the right shot, and we just live and die with that.”
As Kuzma said, what happened cannot be changed, and the Lakers made the correct play. However, DG came up short where it mattered the most and it led to a heart-crushing defeat.
