The Lakers are the NBA champions for the seventeenth time in their history. In Game 6 of the final with the Heat, the Los Angeles team did not leave space in Miami, they took the victory with 106-93 and won the 17th championship in their history and then the players celebrated with their soul.
ADVERTISING
In a game where Goliath simply disbanded David, the Lakers showed strength. They grabbed the Heat by the neck in the second half when they shot the difference to 30 points, put together their own game and achieved a great title against a Miami that simply had nothing more to give.
LeBron James became the Finals MVP, thus making history, as he became the first player to win this award with three different teams, having achieved something similar to the Heat (2012 and 2013) and the Cavaliers (in 2016). .
LeBron James also led the Lakers to Game 6, finishing the game with 28 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, with Anthony Davis adding 19 points and 15 rebounds to Razon Rondo (who became the second player in history to have won. the league with the Lakers and Celtics) 19 points and the Kentavius Caldwell-Pope 17 points.
For the Heat, Bam Adebayo had 25 points and 10 rebounds and Jimmy Butler and Jay Crowder each had 12 points.
The MVP
LeBron James is the leader of this team on and off the field and he proved it once again. Playing all he needed to, he paced both sides of the court, completing the game with 28 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.
THE WEAK LINK
It’s hard to pinpoint just one weak link in a nightmare for Miami. The Heat were looking for a miracle from the beginning when they found themselves at 1-3 again, they reduced it to 2-3, however the truth is that in Game 6 they had just lost their … bike. They seemed physically and mentally exhausted, couldn’t even draw inspiration from Dragic’s return and bowed fatally to the Lakers’ superiority.
THE STATISTICS THAT stood out
Razón Rondo’s 13 points (6/6 two points, 1/1 shooting) in the first half paved the way for the Lakers, as well as a staggering 55.3% shooting from the Los Angeles team in the first two periods. During the same period, Miami shot only 32.4% and it was clear that this game could not be turned around.
THE RACE
The game was a derby at first, with both teams keeping pace on the scoreboard until LA managed to escape at 16-23 and 20-28 thanks to a small outburst late in the first period. And then the party started.
With Rondo giving the signal by scoring baskets, the Lakers initially escaped 23-35 and 27-44. But this turned out to be only the beginning of what was to come next. And is that at the end of the second period, the Lakers showed no mercy and thanks to a 13-0 run, they escaped with 34-64, making a game, closing the first half with 36-64. +28 is the second largest difference at the end of the first half in NBA history in a final game.
The game was tried. And they all knew it now. Miami wanted to react in the third period, but had neither the strength nor the courage to do so, with the Lakers taking a … ride in the second half, to eventually shoot the difference to +36 (46-82) and eventually clinching victory and the championship together, with Miami simply narrowing the scope of their defeat at the end.
