*The Miami Heat kept their championship hopes alive with a 111-108 win over the Lakers in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. *

*It was a nail biter after that.*
*With 16.8 seconds left and the Lakers trailing 109-108, Danny Green missed an open go-ahead three-pointer. Markieff Morris rebounded the ball but committed a costly turnover, throwing the ball out of bounds while wildly missing Anthony Davis under the basket. *

*LeBron James then missed a 40-foot turnaround three-pointer at the buzzer. *
