The Miami Heat can tie the NBA Finals series at 2 games apiece. They are coming off of an amazing Game 3 victory, where Jimmy Butler put the team on his back. He registered a 40-point triple-double to overpower the Lakers.

Heading into Game 4, there is at least some good news for the Heat as All-Star center Bam Adebayo is back in the lineup. However, veteran point guard Goran Dragic is still sidelined due to a foot injury.

The Heat is battling for a potential comeback and the 34-year-old cannot contribute. Dragic was spotted on the sidelines, giving his best to return to the game.

Prior to the game’s start, Dragic tried to do some dribbling drills, but clearly was in some discomfort. Dragic returned to the bench to check on the support on his injured leg.

Seeing any player in a situation like this one is disheartening. Hopefully, Dragic will return to action soon, but as of now Dragic’s chance to return on the roster is looking slim.

Can the Miami Heat continue their dream season without the star point guard?

In Game 3, it took every ounce of Butler’s energy to carry his team to the victory. But against the heavy favorite Lakers, the job only gets more difficult from here on. The dynamic duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis were hungry to make a comeback.

Heading to the fourth quarter, the Lakers hold a 5 point lead over the fifth-seeded Heat. James hit a couple of big threes in the third quarter to shrug off a poor first-half performance. On the other hand, Jimmy Butler, who was 5/5 from the field at the start, struggled a little.

All things considered, the Lakers should finish the job behind the AD and LBJ duo. But the Heat have been right behind the Lakers in the entire game. The final quarter of the ballgame will be terrific and could turn the tide of the series.
