3. LeBron was LeBron, but rest of team is catching up with mental focus!
Watch this video here…the Heat snapped!

Not only did Josh Richardson get a technical foul…HE GOT TOSSED! A few seconds later, Erik Spoelstra had a technical foul.
This happened in the fourth quarter when Richardson went up for a dunk and missed. He screamed for a foul that was not there and then this happened.
A special shout here for Brandon Ingram here…

This was after a missed dunk earlier by Jones on the fast break. But this right here shows growth of Brandon Ingram! Remember the Houston game?
Brandon Ingram showed growth here. Sure he had something to say that I won’t repeat because this is a family post, but he did his talking afterward. He kept playing ball and knocking down key shots to help keep the Heat at bay.
This is how you shut people up…no shoving!

Just take them to the cup for a finger roll and tell them to take the ball out! Beautiful! When teams know that they are in trouble, they try certain things to throw their opponent off their game by trying to roughen the game up with physicality. Not on the Lakers watch! Not this time!
No punches were thrown…just shots in your eye! Leave Ingram alone! He’ll be all right!
How about Josh Hart!
This is always a guy that will compete and play hard. He’s going to show you how to take the heart and spirit from the Heat…

Josh Hart is out on the break here. Tyler Johnson tries to contest the shot at the rim. Hart lowers his right shoulder into Johnson and lays the ball up into the basket. This is a team with better talent and ability not playing down to the competition.
As for Hassan Whiteside…
The Lakers embarrassed him Sunday night. This is the truth. He missed layups at the basket and they took him out the game early. The combination of Tyson Chandler and JaVale McGee systematically wore him down and made him a non-factor! See…

Understand Whiteside has a $100 million dollar contract. He makes more than McGee and Chandler combined. Guess which franchise is getting more bang for the buck! I’ll wait!
I’m out like a LeBron James at the end…
