Great breakdown of Heat's defense in game 3

Some key points:

Leonard completely ignores Howard on the perimeter to help on AD.
Heat prioritize paint shrinking the floor. Success as Lakers only had 34 paint points vs. 56 in game 2.
Crowder was physical with AD and good help defense bothered AD.
Heat neutralized the once successful AD and Rondo PnR by closing the gaps with help defense or by putting Iggy on AD and Butler on Rondo so Heat can just switch preventing any lob or drive.
Although Heat were still outrebounded, defensive rebounding was much better in game 3 than 2 due to lack of zone defense.
