The Miami HEAT Closing Out the Game vs. the Lakers | January 3, 2024

A lot of these turnovers too with the pressure by Miami’s defense take us through all the mistakes La made in that first half well Miami just did such a great job of playing in the lanes and in particular in the paint we talked about La also just being such a paint dominant

Team and so Miami being pretty proactive out there we seen them also jump the Lanes on the perimeter a lot too which is nice but look at that beating somebody by positioning in the paint there’s your body positioning highe getting in the lane so that’s an easy

Shoot the Gap get out the other way and so I have a funny feeling in these film sessions and workouts in LA in Sunny La it’s been a lot of talk it’s been a lot of look at yourself in the mirror and you got to come out and play great

Defense and that’s something that Miami should be very proud of in the first half Anthony Davis one of the best in the NBA in shot block so long yeah I mean and he doesn’t Bight on fakes great steel heat right back at of another heat steel Miami is unbelievable defensively tonight

Hero Tyler hero making them pay for their ball handling mistakes points in the paint really effective there so that’s their strength that’s why the heat are playing a lot of that zone really trying to force the Lakers into taking outside shots D at a quiet first

Half nice to see him get started like that that’s a 5.3 rebound first half with feet attack him off the dribble and finish on top of the rim nothing soft Le Brown James comes around finds reddish who loses the ball and this is going to be a breakaway for Lowry re chasing him

But to no avail Kyle Larry with 10 points that paint effectively too he’d have kept him out of there most of this evening but he averages about 13 points in the paint Tyler hero squares up gets by reddish oh the the the very varied menu

Of of Tyler hero Jon is just so many ways he can get a shot try yic comes down with his eigh rebound to the [Applause] Game bam to the middle DS it in for yic and he scores able to go up and grab it just lay it in 16 points 13 rebounds what’s been a very efficient night for Anthony Davis B makes the catch in a cow hak junr connects on a corner three it’s

His first triple tonight got nine points comfortable hitting that jump hook he got six of his 18 points in this quarter he’s getting Great Looks point blank in the paint yic Kaboom oh you can feel the confidence in this young man from Ser only 20 years old block by Anthony Davis off that

Runner that’s why he kicked it out he’d having a hard time with the proper spacing now the length of factor Davis with three blocks that’s a very important score for out of Bio just his ninth point of the game that’s his 10th point it cuts the Heat lead to three if

You get stuck inside against Anthony Davis I don’t think you can take that shot you got to pass it out but Jay Rich great decision there Here Comes Kevin Love turned back by Davis leans in Davis with his fifth block of the game ridon out of the corner Kaboom a rainbow over Anthony

Davis and’s most difficult shot of the game kick Kevin Love flat footed as I mentioned that length he doesn’t have to bite on the fake but how about that finish that’s his 10th rebound tonight’s game been the Heat’s second best rebounder throughout this season he with

A fivepoint lead Duncan over Davis oh he had to go to the top of the window that one washed and then splashed freeze but he can catch and finish on the move this time with the right hand just about 9 minutes left Robinson around the BAM scen back

To B out to love into the corner Hae hakz Jr rattles down the triple 12 points for HZ both of his threes have come in the second half beautiful ball M the miss love with his 12th rebound the BAM train him a tip in you got to love that man Kevin Love

Six points 13 rebounds all move great feel for the game one extra pass gets HZ The Comfy Corner triple and then the awareness here to follow up the shot by bam no one’s there the rim run is successful and the Tiff in and about that emotion from the former breu here

In La giving his team the 10-point lead joh they both played even better tonight yeah I really love the way they’re are making the whole team better they’re playing well together but also making winning plays whether it’s defense whether it’s offense uh hakz Jr has played more minutes than anybody else

Out there 5 for 11 a couple of made threes 12 points five assists for him uh done a great job of Free Run at The Rim they so long if a ball goes near the basket he’s going to cram it through 26 point6 rebounds for him oh great

Position the pass from HZ with the seal and the score by Kevin Love over Tori home both the Lakers and Clippers for at least one more season Clippers move into their new state of the building seven on the shot CL G against Prince help from Davis bam scores cor

Prince trying to make it up eight with the ball for Miami 6 and 1/2 minutes left oh crushing screen by B flatten Prince dunan kab just when you need it most he has to shoot this starts with a screen from bam as he rubs off toan Prince but Anthony

For a fall back for why things aren’t successful Eric spuls so consistent only saying we have enough to win it really does and if you hear the Mantra over and over again from his team and they believe him they believe in that philosophy incredible heat performance tonight eight double figure
