Thanks to Jimmy Butler's stellar game, the Heat marked their first win the NBA Finals. Many believed that the Heat will be booted out in just four games by the powerhouse Lakers squad.
Things didn't look particularly well after Dragic and Bam Adebayo went down in Game 1 and missed Game 2. But once again, the Heat stood their ground against a higher-ranked foe.
While there's a whole lot of games left to play, the Heat finally proved to everyone that they do deserve to be playing in basketball's biggest stage. It wasn't a fluke that they dominated the Indiana Pacers, ousted the Milwaukee Bucks in five games, and outplayed the Boston Celtics in six games.
It's going to be tougher to win the next few games as the Lakers will likely come back stronger. They will likely place much emphasis on containing Butler who was just having his way for much of Game 3.
Anthony Davis, too, will cook something up for Game 4. The big man just had 15 points and five rebounds in Game 3. Foul trouble and the Heat defense made it tough for him.
Game 4 of the NBA Finals will be on Tuesday. Will the Lakers bounce back and claim a commanding 3-1 lead? Or will the Heat tie the series up?
