NBA Finals: Lakers crush Heat in Game 1 ?
The NBA Finals are here and, oh boy, things are off to a reeeeeal rough start for the Miami Heat. It was about as disastrous a Game 1 as the Heat could have imagined last night.

If you’re a Heat fan looking for good news, here’s about all I can give you: it doesn’t seem like Adebayo’s shoulder strain is going to keep him out of Game 2.

He’s arguably their most important player in this series. |
In any case, good luck to the Heat. They’re gonna need it. |
