Miami Heat Moments: Dwyane Wade Finishes Detroit In Huge Comeback Win
For the final bucket that did them in, it deserves its own blurb.
A miss gives Miami the ball with just over 25 seconds left. The assassin, who had persecuted Detroit all night, strolls down the court.
You see, all night long, Wade tightened his grip around the Pistons, choking them out. Similar to an Anaconda, quietly squeezing the life from its hapless prey.
Now, it was time for the finishing, crushing move—time to draw the soul out of the victim. Wade fades left, fades right, takes the screen, glides up, letting his momentum push him back off the elbow on the left.
The shot goes up, smooth like butter, smooth like fresh cream, smooth like every silk you’ve been told about from a faraway place. Bucket!
The Game would finish 98-100. The greatness of the Miami Heat’s greatest player ever had propelled them to victory, as it had and would so many times across his career.
This was just of many great Miami Heat Moments though. Hopefully, there are many more to come.
