The Heat dropped like flies and dropped Game 1.

First, Miami survived a scare with 20 seconds left in the first half when Jimmy Butler drove on Anthony Davis and planted his left ankle awkwardly. Butler crumpled to the court and limped off. Butler, who had notched 16 first-half points on 7 of 10 shooting, returned for the second half with only a minor limp.

Starting point guard Goran Dragic and starting center Bam Adebayo weren’t so lucky. Dragic reportedly suffered a plantar tear in his left foot. in the second quarter after taking a bad step and didn’t play the second half of the Heat’s 116-98 blowout loss to the Lakers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

“Just let him know that I and we are here for him,’’ said Butler, who is far from 100 percent as well. “We know how much he wants to win, how much he wants to go to war and battle with us. We love him for that and we want him out there with us. But whatever the doctor tells him to do, that’s what he’s got to do.”

Adebayo, the newly minted All-Star who was the Heat’s best player in the Eastern Conference finals victory over Boston, re-injured his left shoulder with the team calling it a strain.

Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said he didn’t know the severity of either injury and had no updates or an ability to say how it all happened. Adebayo had hurt his shoulder earlier in the playoffs. The southpaw Dragic has been Miami’s quiet leading scorer in the playoffs at 20.2 points.

The Heat weren’t able to compete for much of the second half without either and fell behind by 32 points midway though the third. The Lakers have a ton of size on the Heat and Adebayo is their major force on the boards. The Lakers outrebounded Miami 54-36.

Before the game, Anthony Davis said the winner of his matchup with Adebayo would likely win the series. Adebayo had eight points and four rebounds in 21 minutes while Davis erupted for 34. To start the game, however, Spoelsta put Adebayo on Dwight Howard and Crowder on Davis.

Butler said he’s still “a bit sore” but … “I’ll be okay with some treatment. I’ll get ready to go again. I think I got to be ready to go.”

Lakers coach Frank Vogel said he consulted with Iona College coach Rick Pitino before facing Miami.

Pitino was head coach at Kentucky when Vogel was a graduate assistant.

“Coach Pitino had some ideas about attacking the [Miami] zone, so that was fun,’’ said Vogel, a South Jersey product.

Vogel admitted the vibe in the Disney World bubble wasn’t what he imagines a normal NBA Finals atmosphere would be.

“We just sat in traffic for some soccer moms waiting to pull into a little soccer tournament pulling in over there,’’ Vogel said before Game 1. “So that didn’t feel like the NBA Finals.”
