NBA Finals: Heat Hold Off Lakers, Force Game Six

 At the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Bay Lake, Florida:


A Jimmy Butler triple-double (35 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists) helped propel the Miami Heat to a 111-108 Friday victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in the fifth game of the NBA Finals, cutting the Angelinos' series advantage to three games to two.

Duncan Robinson helped the Heat's cause with 26 points.


LeBron James scored 40 points (while grabbing 13 rebounds) and Anthony Davis added 28 (to go with his 12 boards) to lead the Lakers.


Los Angeles can still lock up their first NBA championship since 2010 with a game-six victory on Sunday (4:30 PM Pacific Time, ABC).
