Basketball star LeBron James led the Los Angeles Lakers to the NBA Finals. This is the ninth time in the last ten seasons that James has played in the NBA Finals.
The Denver Nuggets could not repeat the feat of the first and second rounds of the playoffs. Then the team managed to go from a 1-3 deficit in games to victory in both series. It is the first time in NBA history that the same team has managed to go from a 1-3 loss to victory twice in the same postseason.
In the semifinals, the situation was the same: after four games, it was 3-1 in favor of the Los Angeles Lakers, but now the energy ran out. The Denver Nuggets were more or less out of luck in the series against the Lakers. In the third game, the Nuggets managed to win the NBA bubble in Orlando, but the other four ended in favor of the Lakers.
The final result of Saturday night’s fifth final was written 117-107 with LeBron James as the undisputed leader. The statistics speak for themselves: 38 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists. Magic numbers.
– We will enjoy this tonight because it is not certain that it happens every year. You can’t take (final places) for granted, says LeBron James according to ESPN.
Anthony Davis was the second best of the Lakers with 27 points, five rebounds and three assists. In Denver, Jerami Grant and Nikola Jokic added 20 points each.
The Lakers made it to the NBA Finals for the first time in ten years, but for LeBron James, it is everyday food to play for all the money. For the past nine seasons, his team has played in the NBA Finals. The exception came last year during his first season with the Lakers.
With the final spot, James became the fourth player in NBA history to play the finals at least ten times. In the other finals, he has represented the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Los Angeles Lakers have won the NBA Championship 16 times, the last five titles in the 2000s: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009 and 2010. In the Eastern Conference finals, the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics meet. Miami leads 3-2.
