The Lakers decided to change strategy in Game 6. They drew Dwight Howard out of the starting lineup, put in Alex Caruso, won dynamically and supported his game on defense with a fatal transition. At first, with two balls out of three in a row, Duncan Robinson even put that flea behind the Lakers fans’ ear. But the task force created by the Lakers to handle the Heat’s attack was perfect.

LeBron and Davis weren’t spectacular, nor did they have to be. King James hit the rim correctly and Davis was a defensive general, but the imbalance factor was the efficiency of the assistants, especially Rajon Rondo and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. The superiority of Los Angeles was reflected in the use of shots, rebounds, points in the bottle and especially in points in transition.

With absolutely no response, the Heat had their worst playoff game ever and saw the Lakers celebrate the title. It was a night when Jimmy Butler didn’t have a rabbit to pull out of his hat, Dragic’s return was tacky and Tyler Herro invisible. Despite the loss, the Florida team’s great playoff campaign was one of the great stories of the season.

He’s back, who’s talking?
The Lakers had an absolutely frustrating 2018-2019 season. LeBron James’ first year in the franchise was very different from what the Angelino fan expected. With a groin stretch, LeBron lost 17 games. The young nucleus did not take off. The expectation for Anthony Davis disturbed the atmosphere and the team went six straight years without going to the playoffs.

1st quarter: defense works well, LeBron and Davis lead and Lakers start in front
The defenses stood out in the first minutes. The Lakers were very active, pushing the Heat’s attack and invested in the offensive transition to try to take control of the game. But just like in Game 5, Duncan Robinson started hot at Balls 3. A lot of defenses active, teams had a lot of difficulty attacking.

LeBron and Duncan Robinson assumed the basket conditions of their teams. LeBron’s mark on Butler had an effect, with the Heat star scoring just 3 points in the quarter, Anthony Davis growing late in the period, and at the end of the first 12 minutes, the Lakers won 28-20. Dragic entered. to the remaining game 1:04 until the end of the room.

2nd quarter: Rondo leads from the bench and the Lakers open an advantage
Rajon Rondo produced in attack and helped the Lakers reach their biggest lead yet, 12 points 10 minutes before halftime. With very good use of the pitches, the Lakers managed to maintain the advantage throughout the period. The Heat could not find answers to the Lakers’ strong and assertive defense.

Rondo was brilliant, aggressive on defense and offense, with 6 shots converted on 6 attempts in the middle of the quarter. The veteran point guard assumed the role of the team’s basket winger, while the Lakers even opened 19 points from the front. The Heat were doing poorly even on free throws, completely losing control of the game, and at the end of the first half, the Lakers won 64-36.

3rd quarter: Lakers maintain dominance and advance title
In the third quarter the absolute dominance of the Lakers was maintained. The advantage remained around 30 points, LeBron continued to indoctrinate and the Heat were stifled by the rival defense. LeBron and Davis, already in the final minutes of the quarter, spent less time on the court. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers won 87-58.

Fourth quarter – 12 minute protocol
In the fourth quarter, the Heat went 11-3, forcing coach Frank Vogel to call for time. Nothing to change the outcome of the game. Adebayo showed his serve in so-called junk time, and at the end of the game, the Los Angeles Lakers celebrated a title that hadn’t come in 10 years.
