The Miami Heat's adjustments came swiftly, marking the most significant difference from their previous performance tonight.
With almost no margin for error and the absence of home-court advantage, falling behind 1-3 in the series would amount to a near-certain defeat.
Thus, Riley would decisively call for a timeout to make adjustments whenever a problem arose.
The Miami Heat were filled with veteran players, and although they lacked the sharpness of youth, this allowed them to adjust promptly when faced with issues.
To lessen Wade's burden, it was up to the others to step up and shoulder their own share of the responsibility.
Payton caught Kevin Martin in a mismatch and exploited his insufficient defensive capabilities to score one-on-one from the high post.
The Bucks were well aware of their defensive issues with Martin and were not worried, for they knew Martin would fight back.
Fei passed the ball to Martin, clearly intending to let him redeem himself on the court.
