Game 5 NBA Finals: Los Angeles Lakers (3-2) 108 - 111 Miami Heat (2-3)
1st half The Heat continued with their switching scheme and the Lakers go back to Howard after the 2nd half adjustment last game to replace his minutes with Morris. The Heat ran a bunch of Butler pick and rolls with a small setting a screen on AD that's so low it's almost a back screen. This first lead to a Butler midranger and then Danny Green completely loses sight of Duncan Robinson for a corner 3 . For their part, the Lakers were getting success with a Davis pindown for KCP . This is a particularly effective play since they make sure Bam isn't there to protect the rim. In the second play on the clip, Bam is on LeBron James because they run an early Davis screen to get a quick switch - which also allows him a much easier time getting the offensive board. Really smart construction here by LA. The way the Lakers ran from Miami misses has been outstanding and the biggest difference maker in the 1st. In a weird rotation choice, they kept Dwight and AD together as LeBron sits
