Anthony Davis's Role

However, from a certain perspective, this kind of appropriate friction could also be seen as a catalyst for the intensity of the game.

Players who were fired up and determined to outdo each other were more likely to deliver extraordinary performances.

The fierce battle between the two sides continued until the final three minutes of the Fourth Quarter.

After that, it was time for the stars to take over.

The first to step up was, unsurprisingly, Kevin Durant.

With his team down by three, KD stepped up without hesitation. His unstoppable isolation game let him take Kawhi Leonard, the Heat's strongest defender, one-on-one twice in a row. He scored five straight points to put his team ahead.

Yeah, he had a bit of Chen's style~~

But it didn't take long for a Heat player to step up and help his team, too.

Kawhi tried to take George one-on-one, but his jump shot missed and the ball bounced off the rim. Adebayo, however, grabbed the precious offensive rebound and kicked it out to the corner.

Norman Powell didn't let down the trust Spoelstra had shown in him by benching Duncan Robinson in the closing minutes and keeping him on the floor. From the right corner, he caught the ball and launched a Three-Point Shot. With Kemba Walker closing out, Powell still sank the clutch three to put his team back in front.

Herro went to the line, and the foul also brought Allen's total to six. Allen had no choice but to leave the game.

Without Allen, the Nets' interior defense collapsed. Down three as well, their chances were all but
