It’s no surprise the Twitter world would have much to say about the Miami Heat’s thrilling victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5 of the 2020 NBA Finals.
There was an epic battle between Jimmy Butler and LeBron James, as well as a frenetic finish that featured a late pass, miss and turnover that sparked its own debate.
> Finals Game 6: Lakers vs. Heat, Sunday at 7:30 ET on ABC
Nobody's fault. Great pass, great shot, just missed. Don't let the miss take away from giving the Heat their props though!!

Best thing about a loss is you get to really see who’s with you and who ain’t. #werightback

When Bron passed it. At that moment I knew it was going to 6 games. DG not in rhythm. Bron has it going and it was an ArC trey. Corner trey would’ve been cash. KCP was either screaming one more or hoping he ain’t swing it. Only he knows which one https://t.co/K4p5JMTi2N

Good look, good shot. Folks won’t Bron to shoot over 3 people bc he arguably the 🐐 . He made the right play. Did I want him to shoot over 3 folks. Yes lol. But He good enough to score over a couple guys but wired to make smart plays and that’s a high% uncontested shot by a cham https://t.co/hletKjZ8nh

I ain’t Bron lmao. But I’m always going out shooting 🤣. The right play in my mind is the fade away , especially when I got 40. There’s a reason why all players aren’t paid equally lol. Some people get paid to make those plays and live with them. Others hoping they dnt have to https://t.co/nsH829TI4D

. @JimmyButler is proving it. I now want to see a game 7. And I had no confidence that this was a good matchup. This league is so competitive when you talk about beating a team 4 times. #iLoveThisGame

Lebron 100 percent made the correct play… now, everybody would rather see Bron shoot the game winner than pass it lol but fact of the matter is he made 4 guys collapse and he hit DG for a wide open 3
