NBA Finals: LeBron leads Lakers to win in Game 2

The Hindu  

LeBron James took another step toward his fourth championship title on Friday, as the dominant Los Angeles Lakers clinched Game 2 over the Miami Heat 124-114 to extend its 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, as Miami struggled to fill the void left by two of its 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 defense for 32 points and 14 rebounds. “We understand that they put you in some really tough positions offensively.” The Lakers faces the Heat in Game 3 on Sunday.
