It is a difficult break for Miami, as Davis possible lack might have assisted the Heat in Game 6 on Sunday.
The Heat will have to beat the Lakers at complete strength if they want to force a winner-take-all Game 7.
Miami should be riding high after its 111-108 Game 5 win. It will be interesting to see if the NBA and the Game 6 authorities are on high alert for any possible inexpensive shots from either group.
Main response from the NBA on this shot to the face of @CJC9BOSS from Davis: “We review every play in the games from all angles and there was nothing additional to do with this.” https://t.co/7cCMt9dYsZ

Throughout the Miami Heats Game 5 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, it appeared that Lakers star forward Anthony Davis took a cheap shot at Heat forward Jae Crowder.
Davis struck Crowder in the face as he was getting up on a play, triggering the NBA to review the play.
However, the league supposedly will not punish Davis for the event.
