The Los Angeles Lakers broke a 10-year dry spell by winning the franchise’s 17th NBA championship. Led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis, L.A. dominated throughout the unusual playoffs, never needing more than six games to take care of an opponent.
Meanwhile, the L.A. Dodgers, led by Mookie Betts, Cody Bellinger, Justin Turner and Clayton Kershaw, clawed their way to their third World Series appearance in the past four years.
Now, as the Dodgers took care of the Tampa Bay Rays in six games, both L.A. mainstays get to hold up a championship trophy. This marks the first time since 1988 that both the Dodgers and Lakers won a title in the same season.
