- This series will go to a deciding seventh game on Sunday after Miami went to Boston and evened the series at 3 with easily the tightest game of the series.
- But tight isn't something that can properly describe the top of the Pick One leaderboard. Bam Adebayo "ruined" some poetic Pick One symmetry with his final rebound halfway through the fourth quarter but also ruined Trevor and Al's chance for a Hail Mary comeback with only 17 PRA.
- Barring that rebound, Ryan would have doubled those two's output with a resurgent double-double and 32 PRA from Kyle Lowry in victory.
- And doubling that for an outrageously soul-crushing top score was optimal scorer Jimmy Butler with 64 PRA falling one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. Lou lucked into Butler via the Last Man In but Matt was able to fire off the last Eastern Conference Finals arrow in his quiver to all but put the Challenge to bed before the NBA Finals.
- This will be the last bench bargain of the postseason because there is barely going to be any worthwhile options for the Finals regardless of whatever team makes it out of the Eastern Conference to face Golden State. So take a bow Victor Oladipo, you and your 14 PRA are the last for 2021-22 in this blurb.
