Lower seeded Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat can punch tickets to conference finals with Game 5 victories
LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Miami Heat three years ago in the most unusual NBA Finals ever, played neither during the normal season nor in their home arenas.Both have 3-1 leads and can advance to their conference finals Wednesday night, which would leave them one round away from a potential unprecedented championship matchup pitting a No. 7 vs. a No. 8 seed.
“I think we’ll be ready,” James said. “One thing about when you play Golden State, you don’t have an opportunity to relax. You just don’t. So I’m not worried about us going in there comfortable. You just can’t do it versus Golden State, it’s not even – it’s not possible.” Now they need one more strong effort in what’s often considered the toughest game of the series to win.
Los Angeles limited Golden State to 17 points in the fourth quarter to pull out a 104-101 victory on Monday. The Lakers are 17-5 since March 19 and now need only to avoid their first three-game losing streak in three months to book their spot opposite Denver or Phoenix in the West finals.
