On the more serious side, FT LAL 124 MIA 114. The “Heat” lost two of their top three players in the game one smackdown in the lockdown bubble and had a third painfully hobbled. Leading playoff scorer Goran Dragic and best all-around player Bam Adebayo never returned in game one and were out tonight, too, while Jimmy Butler played 45’ tonight after a hard-to-watch bad ankle sprain in game one. Were we going to win the Finals with everyone healthy? I don’t think so but I would never have bet against this “Heat” team in this whacked out year. To have your three best players hurt in the first game though...Well. The “Lakers” are up two games to goose egg.
