The Miami Heat vs. the Toronto Raptors - Game 4

With an ending score of 94-87 in favour of the Heat, you would definitely expect a nail-biting experience to ensue when watching this game. However, these are one of those game where it wasn't the case. Both sides put in all their effort but we did not see the game we were hoping to see. From a vanilla looking offense by Toronto to little ball movement by both sides. And to top this all off, we witnessed one of the most anticlimactic shots of all time with a jump-ball. Mind you, I actually found that rare shot to be quite amazing. Have a look below and you'll see why.

Derozan's performance

Definitely a player which I can easily identify for their questionable performance. One of the biggest drop-offs in performance was witnessed by many viewers this game. From the bad decision-making to terrible plays, Derozan had it all. I don't want to put the complete blame on him but his plays definitely contributed to the loss.


Based on the overall game, it was not one of the best series for my entertainment but regardless, these games are always entertaining to watch as everything is very unexpected, whereby you'll never what could happen.

Check out the highlights below.

The Cleveland Cavaliers vs. The Atlanta Hawks

Just an incredibly close match to watch in game 4, ending on 100-99 in favour of the Cavaliers and with only one point that made all the difference. As a result this gives the Cavaliers much time to rest up before the bigger games in the Eastern Conference finals. The Cavaliers gave an excellent performance these playoff, which have allowed them to succeed for straight wins.

Lebron James' performance was also incredible and should be pointed out. Scoring 21 points he gave the team significant leverage in making it into the winning side of the game. One interesting point in the game for me, was when James had a video review overturn a call that Cleveland had knocked the ball out of bounds. Soon after, James was on the wind against Millsap. Amazingly, James was able to score which allowed the Cavaliers to surpass the Hawks once again, pushing them to 100-97.

This was a turning point that gave the Cavaliers the motivation to gain stronger defense - which allowed them to take the series and wipe out the Hawks.

Kevin Love's playoff performance

Just wanted to give mention to Kevin Love for his exceptional performance. Apart from scoring 27 points in this game. During the playoffs, Love can only be described as an undefeated man. Not only has he been giving a consistent performance throughout the playoffs but he remains to be undefeated in the fact that he has never lost a game within the playoffs. Here's a simple breakdown of his career performance thus far:

• 4-0 against the Celtics in 2015
• 4-0 against the Pistons in 2016
• 4-0 against the Hawks most recently in 2016
