let them know it during a timeout in the third quarter. The Heat took that fight back onto the court and made the Los Angeles Lakers work, but were too far behind and fell into a 2-0 hole in the NBA Finals with a 124-114 loss on Friday night.
The Heat wasted a strong offensive performance by allowing too many open shots from around and inside their zone defense, and then not chasing down some rebounds when they did force misses.
At one point in the third quarter, Anthony Davis made three consecutive baskets on follow shots, the last giving the Lakers an 18-point lead.Los Angeles finished with 16 offensive rebounds and scored 21 second-chance points.“I love a lot of the things the way we competed tonight but I think another level would have.
