(Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports)

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope played a big role in the Los Angeles Lakers winning Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

The Los Angeles Lakers are three wins away from being NBA Champions after routing the Miami Heat, 116-98, in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The main story coming out of this game is the fantastic play of Anthony Davis and LeBron James as well as the injuries to Goran Dragic, Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler.

One massively overlooked aspect of this game was the contributions that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope made.
