When the series began between the Lakers and the Heat; the Lakers easily won the first two games. However, the Heat came back to win two games before heading into Game 6.
In Game 6, the Lakers took command and were up in the third quarter by as much as 36 points. When the 4th Quarter began, the Heat showed signs of coming back. But, it was a little too late. Of course, the Lakers were determined to end the series last night.
Moreover, the last title won by the Lakers was over a decade ago with Kobe Bryant. When Kobe was killed; the Lakers said they were playing the 2019-2020 season in his memory.
And, the team rose to the occasion. So, what is next for the Lakers? Are more championships in their future?
