The Los Angeles Lakers set fire to the Miami Heat.
The Lakers drained 13 of their first 21 attempts from three-point range, and All-NBA big man Anthony Davis dominated the rest of the court in a 116-98 blowout of the Heat in Wednesday’s Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Davis amassed 34 points (11-21 FG, 2-4 3P, 10-10 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and three blocks to lead L.A., unleashing years of playoff frustration in his Finals debut. LeBron James, playing in the 50th Finals game of his career, logged 25 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists.
