The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Miami Heat with 124:114 (29:23, 39:31, 35:39, 21:21). In a series of up to four victories, the Lakers are in the lead with 2-0.
In the final quarter, the Heat had at least five chances to get closer to an eight-point deficit, but the Lakers prevented their opponents from feeling the potential for victory, and Lebron James threw two long shots at the end of the match, reaching 117: 104.
It was difficult for the Miami team to play because Bams Adebajo did not take part in the second duel due to injuries and Gorans Dragičs.
Meanwhile, Anthony Davis stood out with a great performance, scoring 32 points and 14 rebounds. Significantly, Davis missed only five shots (15/20) during the whole game. In his tenth NBA Finals, James stood out with 33 points, nine rebounds and equally good assists.
In the Lakers, Rayon Rondo added another 16 points and ten assists.
Heat scored 25 points, eight balls under the baskets and 13 assists for Jimmy Butler, while Kelly Olinik, who also had nine rebounds, scored less points. Tyler Hero stood out with 17 points and seven rebounds.
“They have good-looking players as well as top-tier Davis,” Heat spokesman Eric Spolstra said after the loss.
James, on the other hand, pointed out that it is also exciting to play in the tenth final. “It’s never tiring to be in the final,” added James, who has a chance to win the fourth title this year with his third NBA team. “That’s why I work so hard, because I want to play matches in June or October.”
The third game of the series will be played by both teams on Sunday.
“Heat” was crowned champion in 2006, 2012, and 2013, winning the last two titles with Lebron as a member of James. It last played in the NBA Finals in 2014, when it recognized San Antonio’s “Spurs” superiority in a series of 1-4.
The Lakers, on the other hand, are a 16-time NBA champion, winning many of their titles in the 1950s and 1980s, as well as in the first decade of this century. The last time the Los Angeles team became the champion was in 2010, when it was represented by Kobe Brian, who tragically passed away this year.
The NBA season continues at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando.
