Without two of their key contributors (Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo), the Miami Heat looked to rise up from the ashes of their 2-0 deficit in hopes they’d catch a talented Laker team coasting on Sunday. This was the case as Jimmy Butler was the main ingredient of Game 3’s concoction as Miami brewed up their first win of the series. While LA lost, they still produced a large offering of re-watchable clips including AD utilizing his hops, Rondo slicing the D, Howard’s tip-off alley-oop, and King James’ bodacious block.
Enjoy the best highlights from the Lakers vs. Heat in the 2020 NBA Finals Game 3:
Throughout this series Jimmy Butler has lived at the free-throw line and it was no different in Game 3, but this time, his efforts generated a 40-point triple-double which sufficed to bag Miami the victory, despite being depleted of a pair of impact players.
NO BAM.

Anthony Davis may not have stuffed the stat sheet in Game 3 as he’s used to doing, but the Brow took liftoff with an unworldly reverse alley-oop finish and an aggressive putback slam over the top of the defense.

Driving down the lane with his off-hand, Rajon Rondo gave the Heat a “HORSE” letter on this unbelievable trick-shot that warrants a top spot on this list as the ball graced the top of the backboard before miraculously dropping in.
Rondo finds a way.

Dwight Howard’s athleticism is still among the best of any big as he kept the ball rolling from last game where he soared above and beyond his defenders effortlessly. More of the same took place Sunday as he attacked the rim on the game’s opening play to prove he still has some tread on his 16-season-old tires.
Now there's a way to open a game.

Providing shades of his infamous chase down block from the 2016 NBA Finals, LeBron James was back at it again to prove he’s still the same beast at age-35 as he swatted away Herro’s layup with immense authority after running him down.

As the first No. 5 seed to make the NBA Finals, the Miami Heat have shocked the league with frenetic postseason play and their immaculate run now has new life with an imminent sweep changing course towards a competitive series.
