In the end, the game was over, and the Heat had comfortably won Game 3 by a score of 129–118.
They had played a brilliant team game.
Every player on the team had stepped up at the right moment and contributed their part.

As for the Nets, George had 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists; Durant had 31 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 assists; and Harden had 19 points, 4 rebounds, and 9 assists.

After the Nets-Heat series game ended, the next matchup got underway: the Bucks and the Celtics in Game 2.
The Milwaukee Bucks, still defending their home court, faced off against the Boston Celtics in another fierce battle.
However, compared with the previous game, this one had
