The biggest comeback margin in NBA playoff history is 31 points; a 20-point gap isn't completely hopeless.
Even on their home court, the Heat Team didn't give up.
They spent the next three quarters tirelessly chasing points.
In the second half, the Cavaliers inevitably started to show signs of fatigue.
By the fourth quarter, the Heat managed to narrow the lead down to single digits.
But ultimately, the hole they had dug was too deep, and they fell to a 106-113 defeat.
After the game, Malone gave the game's MVP, the big gold chain, to Hansen.
During the decisive 10-0 surge by the Cavaliers at the end of the first quarter, Hansen contributed 8 points.
But Hansen placed the gold chain around Malone's neck instead.
Tonight's victory was one of tactical strategy, and it was Malone who seized the only opportunity on the court.
"Our opponents played well tonight; that's all there is to it."
