Miami Heat: 3 Key Players In Game 3 Victory Over Boston – Victor Oladipo
When you think of the motto “next man up”, this is the player who should come to mind for Miami in Game 3.
Victor Oladipo
Victor Oladipo did not play in the first half. When Jimmy Butler left the game in the second half, the Heat needed Dipo to take his place.
He did an excellent job. Oladipo turned back the clock on Saturday night and showed why he used to be an All-NBA defender.
He was one of the main defenders on Jaylen Brown in the second half. Although Brown had a hot shooting night with 40 points, he also had seven turnovers, and five of which came in the third quarter.
Many of those were caused by Victor Oladipo’s stifling defense. Oladipo finished the game with four steals and he probably forced even more turnovers.
He was everywhere in Game 3. The Miami Heat needed someone to step up and he made an immediate impact.
He deserves all the credit and respect.
