Los Angeles Lakers Anthony Davis and LeBron James together scored 65 points against Miami.
The Los Angeles Lakers also won the second final meeting with Miami in the North American Professional League.
Again, the Davis-James super duo delivered who together scored 65 of the Lakers’ 124 points.
– For us it is not enough to win, we want to be fantastic, says LeBron James, who after all was not entirely happy with the game.
The LA Lakers took direct command of the game, leading more or less from the draft to the final whistle.
Once again, Lakers Fix star LeBron James became the best scorer with 33 points scored, closely followed by arms bearer Anthony Davis with 32. Davis collected the most rebounds, 14 pieces. The final score is 124-114 for the Lakers, with period numbers 29-23, 39-31, 35-39, 21-21.
Not happy with the defense
But despite the dominance, James was not entirely happy with the game.
– Neither I, coach (coach Frank Vogel) nor AD (Davis) were happy with our defensive game tonight. We know we can play better, says James after the game.
– We play against a dangerous team in Miami. They have five guys on the field that pose a threat to us, they’ve shown it now.
Underdog Miami, who played without top injured players Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo, endured after all with approval and much of the team’s fate was (and is) in the hands of Jimmy Butler. He became Miami’s best scorer and had the most assists for the team: 25 and 13 respectively.
“Find ways to do it”
– We never give up. We will fight to the end, says Jimmy Butler and is supported by his coach Erik Spoelstra:
– If you want something enough, you’ll find ways to manage it, says the Miami coach about the team’s underdog status and upcoming meetings.
Two more victories are needed before the favorite Lakers can celebrate a 17th NBA title: The club already has five titles of the years in Minneapolis and eleven descents to Los Angeles in 1960.
“We go into every game with the idea that it is a game that we must win,” says Anthony Davis.
The final third match will be played on Monday night Swedish time.
