Miami Heat Fall Short in 2020 NBA Finals

The Miami Heat advanced all the way to the 2020 NBA Finals, but was unable to overcome the Los Angeles Lakers as the team lost Game 6 in the best-of-seven series 106-93 on October 11. Lakers star LeBron James won the Finals MVP and captured his fourth NBA championship with his third team. He was also Finals MVP in past championship-winning seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers (2016) and the Heat in 2013 and 2012.

The Heat dealt with injuries in the Finals and were largely considered underdogs, but that didn’t stop Jimmy Butler from keeping the series competitive. He had a triple-double in both Game 3 and Game 5 and averaged 26.2 points, 9.8 assists, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game in the series. He also shot 55.2 percent from the field.

The NBA Finals – and the entire playoffs – were played in a bubble in Disney World in Orlando, Florida, due to the COVID-19 pandemic that suspended the 2019-20 season in March. Consequently, the 2019-20 NBA season lasted 380 days, making it the longest in league history.
