The script was flipped on Sunday night in The Bubble, as Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler played 45 minutes and posted a 40-13-11 triple double in carrying his team past the Los Angeles Lakers to a 115-104 win in Game 3. Butler’s running mate and former Wildcat Tyler Herro was second on the team in scoring with 17, including several buckets late in the fourth quarter to help seal the win.

On the other side of the court, former Wildcat Anthony Davis only attempted nine shots for the Lakers. While he did make six of them, he also only had two free throw attempts in the game. Davis finished a team worst -26 in the loss while seeing teammates Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris attempt 13 shots each.

Heat guard Goran Dragic will likely remain out, but former Wildcat Bam Adebayo could likely see a return from injury in Game 4 on Tuesday night. Kelly Olynyk has spelled him well (20.5 PPG in games 2 & 3), though Bam’s defense in the paint as well as out on the perimeter against Davis/Lebron James will gladly be welcomed back.

Tip off is set for Tuesday night at 9 PM EDT, as the Lakers have opened as -7.5 point favorites.
