Adebayo has a triple-double, Butler scores 28, and the Heat beat LeBron and the Lakers 108-107.

MIAMI (AP) — Bam Adebayo notched Miami’s first triple-double on 20 rebounds, Jimmy Butler scored 28 points and the Heat finally survived a major offensive drought to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers 108-107 on Monday night.

Adebayo scored 22 points, grabbed 20 rebounds and had 10 assists for Miami in what was his sixth hat-trick of the regular season. Tyler Herro scored 22 points for the Heat, and Duncan Robinson added 12 points.

LeBron James led all scorers with 30 points for the Lakers, who fell 0-4 away from home. Austin Reaves had a triple-double and finished with 23 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. The Lakers didn’t have Anthony Davis in the final 14 minutes. He left the game twice due to left hip spasm and finished with nine points and six rebounds.

Adebayo was called for traveling with 8.9 seconds left, giving the Lakers one last chance. The inbounds pass went to James, who drove right, drew defenders and found a wide-open Cam Reddish for what would have been a game-winning corner jumper.

It bounced off the rim, Butler secured the rebound and time expired. Neither team scored in the final 2:39, and the Heat didn’t make a field goal in the final 4:15 — and won anyway, via stop after stoppage at the end. Among them: Kyle Lowry takes over on James with 1:57 left, with the stated height and weight difference between these players being nine inches and 55 pounds.

D’Angelo Russell was ejected with 7:52 left for a pair of technical fouls for arguing, and Herro’s free throws put the Heat up 100-88 — just 32 seconds after the Lakers had a chance to pull within three points. .

Taurean Prince missed a 3-pointer that would have cut Miami’s six-point lead in half, and the game quickly changed. Jaime Jaquez Jr. got a layup, then Russell had a turnover, and Jaquez Jr. got a layup again. Adebayo got assists on both goals from Jaquez, giving him a triple-double, and Russell was ejected for arguing after the second basket.

The Lakers started Monday night with five players — Rui Hachimura (concussion), Gabe Vincent (knee), Jackson Hayes (ankle), Jared Vanderbilt (heel) and Jalen Hood-Schivino (knee) — all out injured.
