Lakers stay alert ahead of Game 2 vs. Heat

Despite a dominating performance in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers are far from content as they head into Game 2 on Friday.

"We've got so much more work to do," said LeBron James, who had 25 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists in the Lakers' 116-98 win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday near Orlando. "The job is not done, and we're not satisfied with winning one game. It's that simple."

Anthony Davis had 34 points on 11-of-21 shooting in the first NBA Finals of his eight-year career. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 13 points, Danny Green chipped in 11 and Alex Caruso contributed 10 for Los Angeles, which led by as much as 32 at one point.
