The Los Angeles Lakers ended their 10-year NBA Finals drought by defeating the Denver Nuggets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, 117-107.
LeBron James was a man on a mission as he was aggressive getting to the cup and finding his teammates for open looks whenever the Nuggets decided to double him. James really got going in the second quarter when he was relentless attacking the paint and finishing through contact.
However, James put on a masterpiece of a fourth quarter as the superstar was determined to put Denver away. The three-time NBA champion had been struggling with his jump shot the past couple of games but caught fire from the field, draining contested jumper after jumper to put the game away.
