  • But you know what the Heat had.

  • They had Jimmy Butler and he would not be denied.

  • Here.

  • He is turning defense into offense.

  • He's going the other way.

  • Jimmy Butler feeling it later in the first.

  • The Heat have opened a nine point lead.

  • Jimmy Butler says On this night, I'm going to be aggressive.

  • Heat up three of the quarter and look at after the first quarter.

  • Butler and LeBron Jimmy Butler saying, We're not going away, LeBron says, Come on, they put the syriza way.

  • Let's pretend this is over.

  • Jimmy Butler would have none of it.

  • Fourth quarter.

  • 11 minutes to go.

  • Lakers air down.

  • Five.

  • LeBron not giving up.

  • That's two of his 25 Lakers air within two 9.5 to go.

  • Lakers down three.

  • They need someone.

  • Mark Keith Morris.

  • 19 points for him off the bench were tied at 89 8 minutes to go tied at 91.

  • The Heat need a hero, and in this case it's Kelly Olynyk.

  • He made three threes, 17 points.

  • Heat up 34 minutes to go.

  • Heats lead is six Butler working on K C P.

  • Jimmy Butler was just so good last night.

  • How about a 40 point triple double, 13 assists, 11 rebounds and Jimmy Butler, the leader?

  • Look at him telling his guys, They're in trouble.

  • He's telling their guys they're in trouble.

  • And then I mentioned they need a hero about Tyler.

  • Put some icing on the cake.

  • Tyler hero coast to coast to of his 17 points and give me the face.

  • Tyler hero with the face.

  • Butler.

  • The third player in NBA history with a 40 point triple double in the finals.

  • LeBron and Jerry West the other.

  • He'd get the win.

  • They're alive, Coach.

  • Let's talk.

  • How else do you say it?

  • Other than Jimmy Effin Butler, it's really hard to, um, analyze or described Jimmy until you actually feel him between the four lines.

  • He's, ah, supreme elite competitors on DWI needed.

  • I'm gonna bring Timmy Legler back into the conversation here legs.

  • You have been begging Jimmy Butler to be, um, or aggressive finding his shot on the offensive end, and last night he listened Yeah, he did, and he had to do it.

  • I mean, you're missing two of your top playmakers, and Jimmy Butler has toe read the situation and understand he can take advantage of some of these smaller matchups when he gets a k c p on him or Caruso.

  • Where a rondo.

  • He was aggressive and understanding.

  • He could get that shot off and finish at the rim if he came off ball screen.

  • And he had Morris on him.

  • Er a d He knows he's got the foot speed to beat those guys to the rim, and he's getting a lot of times single coverage in this Siri's greeny.

  • So he has to take advantage of those situations.

  • I know he wants to be patient.

  • Let the game come to him.

  • He doesn't even view himself as a scorer.

  • I think he views himself as a defender first and an all around player that can score well in this Siri's.

  • He needs to be a big time score.

  • He did it last night and he got his team back in the syriza.

  • I think the two biggest numbers that jumped out to me 20 field goal attempts, 14 free throw attempts.

  • That's all you need to know about the place that Jimmy Butler was that in his mind and how he was reading the floor.

  • And then that sets up situations where they pay more attention to him late in the game.

  • And he hits Olynyk for a couple of baskets because he draws multiple defenders because they took him seriously as a scorer.

  • I love the Tony said.

  • I love the way he played.

  • He's got that capability to be that aggressive every night, and he's going to need to if they want to make this a long Siris.

  • In the meantime, you sent a note to our show group after the game saying the Lakers played out of character.

  • What did you mean by that?

  • Too many threes.

  • It's that simple.

  • And I didn't realize to what extent, you know, sometimes you watch a game, you think you see something and then you see the numbers and you realize, Wow, you were dead on and and in this case, what that means.

  • It's the first game in the history of the Lakers franchise, where more than half their field goals were three point attempts, and that's just not who they are when they take 42 threes on 79 overall field goal attempts.

  • That is not their identity.

  • There's a reason that we've questioned your three point shooting all season.

  • Now they've had nights in the postseason where those role players have made shots and got hot.

  • And then you're not beating them because of what I D and LeBron are doing to you in the paint and at the rim.

  • But in this case, I thought too quick, too early.

  • You're talking about average at best, three point shooters in a lot of cases with their rotation.

  • And these guys were taking quick shots, one for nine on threes in the 1st 10 seconds of the clock.

  • That is bailing out Miami, not playing to your strengths, not making them defend you in the areas of the floor where they can dominate you, which is at the paint at the rim now that he did a good job of putting bodies in the paint.

  • But I thought the Lakers settled and I think they're going to see the film and they're gonna agree with that.

  • I understand they got away from the way they're going to win this Siri's, which is beating that team up in the paint and on the offensive glass.

  • So, like, I just have a few seconds here.

  • But But I'm seeing that out of Bio may be back for the Heat in Game four.

  • Do we have ourselves a serious here?

  • Yeah, we definitely have a serious here because Miami the last two games, the one thing they proved they could score on this team and the Lakers defense has been suffocating at times in the postseason for everybody.

  • But now, with what Miami did, even in a loss in Game two, they scored easily and they did it again last night.

  • So right now the Mo Mentum is shifting, the confidence is shifting for the Miami Heat, and now they've got some guys coming back, at least one of them on on on Tuesday.

  • The Miami Heat are absolutely in this.

  • Siri's thank you for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

Let's get you to Game three of the NBA Finals last night in the bubble.
