LeBron leads Lakers charge in Game two win over Heat
LeBron James took another step toward his fourth championship title on Friday.
This was after the dominant Los Angeles Lakers clinched Game 2 over the Miami Heat 124-114 to extend their lead to 2-0 in the NBA Finals.
The Lakers seized the early momentum to put up nine three-pointers in the first two quarters for a 14-point head start at halftime.
Miami struggled to fill the void left by two of their biggest playmakers, point guard Goran Dragic and forward Bam Adebayo, who left Game 1 with injuries and were not able to play on Friday.
Sixteen-time All-Star LeBron James, the night’s leading scorer, put up 33 points with nine rebounds and nine assists.
While teammate Anthony Davis continued his stellar run in his first-ever NBA Finals, rolling over Miami’s defence for 32 points and 14 rebounds.
“It’s a great team that we’re playing and we understand that,” James said in an on-court interview after the game.
“We understand that they put you in some really tough positions offensively.”
The Lakers face the Heat in Game 3 on Sunday.
