Miami's Heat's big three had to collective have a huge game to defeat the Clippers. Gannis, Klay Thompso, and Bam combined for 92 points of the 117 they needed to win the game.

Let's take you to OT with under 12 ticks left in the game. Down by two, the Heat needed either a two to tie or a three to win the game. the Heat inbounded the ball to Klay Thompson, who was wide opened and nailed a dagger three to end the Clippers hope for a victory.


After he hit the game winner, you would have thought that the Heat was in Miami, because everyone was o their feet, cheering Klay on. During the postgame conference, their head coach was asked about the shot.


"[Thompson] had great timing on that, and then Bam had one heck of a screen..." Erik Spoelstra said. "It was fitting to be able to finish the game that way. "Screeners don't usually get a lot of credit, but that's probably my best screen, for sure..." said Adebayo, who led the Heat with 35 points. "I just had to make sure I got him open. The guy is one of the greatest shooters in league history. So, my biggest thing was to make sure he got open."


It looks like Thompson is starting to find his stride in the Big 3 and has been on fire as of late. It will be very interesting to see if they can continue their winning streak
