10 years later, the Lakers are back on top.
And this after an authentic fireworks display.
Led by LeBron James (28 pts, 14 rbs, 10 wt) and Anthony Davis (19 pts, 15 rbs), Franck Vogel's players scattered Miami like a puzzle (106-93) last night, during Game 6 of the NBA Finals .
Success synonymous with coronation for LA, the first since that of Kobe Bryant and company in 2010, the 17th.
A record in the NBA, at the height of the Boston Celtics.
Quadruple champion, "King James" is the winner of the Bill Russell Trophy - which rewards the MVP of the Finals - for the fourth time (2012, 2013, 2016, 2020) and with a third club.
He and his teammates left no chance for Jimmy Butler (12 pts, 7 rbs, 8 wt) and company, exhausted, suffocated, dominated in all areas of the game and who lost ground in the second quarter, won 36- 16 by the Angelinos.
It started in defense for LA, who knew how to impose his physique and took advantage of the insertion of Alex Caruso in the five.
For Miami, the return of Goran Dragic (5 pts, 2/8) will not have changed anything.
25 points and 10 rebounds for Bam Adebayo.
And now ?
The NBA will take a break for several weeks after the longest season in its history, coronavirus requires.
It remains to be seen for how long.
The idea of restarting at Christmas is not buried.
“No earlier than Christmas, probably in January,” said Adam Silver recently.
