A very closely fought game, LeBron carried the Lakers to the victory line, but Butler said "no, not this day." LeBron 15 of 21 from the field, including six 3's and 13 boards, the Heat did lay off him a bit too much though. Butler with an efficient 35 points, 12 boards and 11 assist triple-double, with consistently clutch free-throws. Nunn got going a bit, Rondo disrespecting him and on the other end Rondo taking step back 3's, which is on the Heat wish-list. Davis's offense's impossible to stop and he's defensively impacting so much at the rim, sometimes it's just his presence. It's Robinson who tipped the scale the Heat's way though, shooting 7 of 13 from 3-point range and not many of them easy. Crowder has been poor, somehow the Heat still squeak out these wins with him on the floor. He makes so many mistakes and gets turnover and misses, Mike Breen always says the Heat did it when Crowder does something negative, but goes on about how good he is when he does something positive. They say he's a tough gritty player, but he's the exact opposite. He avoids all tough effort and finish at the rim type plays and only shoots quick range shots and plays no aerial or help defense. The NBA has to look at these offensive foul calls going forward, defensive players just throw themselves in the way and people making basketball plays are being penalized. It's a blocking foul before you should be looking at what offensive contact was made. The Heat were written off after game 2, to a 0-4 series outcome, now the series is 3-2, can the Heat bring it to an unlikely game 7?
