Miami lost that 2014 series to the\u00a0San Antonio Spurs\u00a0in five games thanks in large to the play of Kawhi Leonard, who won the Finals MVP award for the Spurs.<\/p>\n<p>In order to qualify for the 2020 NBA Finals, Miami had to beat the\u00a0Indiana Pacers, Bucks and\u00a0Boston Celtics\u00a0in the first three rounds of the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>The Heat made quick work of their first two playoff opponents, as the team swept the Pacers in the first round and then eliminated the Bucks in five games. But Miami faced a real test in the Eastern Conference Finals, as it took the Heat six games to send Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and the Celtics home.<\/p>\n<p>Then, on the NBA\u2019s brightest stage, Crowder and the Heat lost to the Lakers in six games. Miami\u2019s two wins during the best-of-seven series came in Games 3 and 5.<\/p>\n<p>Crowder appeared in 21 games (all starts) during the team\u2019s 2020 playoff run and averaged 12.0 points per game on 40.3 percent shooting from the field and 34.2 percent shooting from 3-point range. He also averaged 5.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.7 steals per contest. He was Miami\u2019s fifth-leading scorer in that span behind Jimmy Butler, Goran Dragic, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jae Crowder played for the\u00a0Miami Heat\u00a0when the team reached the 2020 NBA Finals and lost to LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the\u00a0Los Angeles Lakers\u00a0in the championship series&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2714,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
