Bravery, desperation, ruthlessness, and an absolute lack of fear are the only words that can do justice to Miami Heat’s Game 5 win. They had their armor on in defending and guns loaded when it came down to attack. The Lakers were never quite there!

How many times does the world get to see LeBron James scoring a 40-point double-double and his side still sitting at the losing end? Well, as fate would have it, the unnatural stuff happened right when it was least expected. The Lakers finally witnessed their first defeat in the Black Mamba jersey and put an end to the folklore.

The Miami Heat rested their case!

The world will again sit Jimmy Butler on the petals, for he deserves every bit of that. But one must also take into consideration the roleplay performed by guard Duncan Robinson. He scored 26 points and an out-of-the-world 7 three-pointers from the downtown. They criticized the shooting specialist throughout the series for the lack of accuracy in his attempts. However, he came down boiling right on time.

Even legendary Lakers’ player Magic Johnson had to take note of his extraordinary play.

The former Chicago Bulls great, Jay Williams, sparked another debate as he suggested that LeBron James must’ve taken the clutch three and not Danny Green (who choked it).

Now, the fact is, LeBron was triple-teamed, while Danny was left wide open and hence it was his shot to be taken. With that attempt, Danny had two options, one was to always be remembered for making it, second was again to always be remembered for choking it. Perhaps he succumbed to the pressure and chose the latter.

The problems for the Lakers are only building up!

Magic Johnson threw light on Anthony Davis’ fitness ahead of Game 6. AD scored 28 points and 12 rebounds in a game where he timed 42 minutes of play even as he limped his way through the match.

It will be scary to see Lakers playing with anything but a 100% fit AD. Last but not least, rapper Snoop Dogg showed his anger in an Instagram post where he wrote (with Danny’s edited picture), “Get ya ass bac in the gym right now fuck going to sleep get ya shot right fool we one game away w. T. F is u doing [angry emojis]”.

Life from here is tough for both the Lakers and the Heat. Game 6 is always a nasty battle that can drift either way.
