The Miami Heat won Game 5 of the 2020 NBA Finals 111-108 on Friday night. It was a hard-fought battle that either side had a legitimate shot at winning, but in the end the Lakers just made more mistakes.
Or more specifically, certain Lakers made more mistakes.
Danny Green ended up missing a key three-pointer in the final seconds that could have sealed the championship for his team.
Markieff Morris then promptly turned the ball over.
Immediately after the outing, Lakers fans turned on both men.
Laker fans as soon as Danny green and Morris leave the bubble: #LakeShow 😡

This might just be me but I want Lebron taking a contested shot for the win over Danny Green taking an open shot. Ik that was the “right” basketball play… but im trusting my superstar hitting a tough shot over a role player being clutch. 🤷♂️
