However, the LA went a little bit defensive in the third quarter, and Heat didn’t miss that opportunity. With four rebounds on one possession, the Heat narrowed the gap to 76-67. This energized the star loaded team of Lakers and the trio of James, Ingram and Hart took the center stage and ran an 11-4 on the Heat. James was on the bench for the initial moments of the final quarter, but the team didn’t disappoint. The lead was maintained until James returned.
And as soon as he returned from the bench, LeBron stunned the audience with a jump shot and hence boosting up the stagnant looking offense of the Lakers. The Miami Heat was unable to come any closer after that.
