With the game wrapped up in favor of the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James walked out of the court even before the final buzzer sounded which caused a slight delay.
Game 3 was in the bag for the Heat thanks to a stellar performance from Jimmy Butler. They opted to let the shot clock expire, leaving just 0.7 seconds left in the game clock. James didn't seem aware of this and so he walked away straight to the locker room.

While this could be read as a minor thing, Mark Jackson claims that it wasn't a good look for LeBron James and the Lakers. His sentiments were echoed by several analysts and spectators as well.
That last sequence seeing the Lakers just leave while the game is going on speaks volume about the rest of this series. #HeatNation

Whatever the case may be, one thing is clear for the Lakers: they need to exert a greater effort in Game 4. It would be foolish to underperform and underestimate this surging Heat team.
