Lakers News: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Reveals LeBron James Called Game 6 ‘Must Win’ In Text Message

In what turned out to be a thrilling NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers prevailed in Game 6 over the Miami Heat and became the 2020 champions.

LeBron James was brilliant throughout the night, recording a triple-double (28 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists) and making sure the Lakers never took their foot off the gas. He was in complete control of the offense and his efforts led to a fourth Finals MVP Award.

James is the first player to ever win Finals MVP with three different franchises. This type of performance from the Lakers showed just how dominant they could be when everyone is locked in, and James ensured the team would not see another letdown like Game 5.
