Miami Heat vs. Los Angeles Lakers, Game 1 NBA Finals. The time has come, the final series of the season for the title. Miami reaches the final after being an underdog for most of the season and much more during the playoffs. The Lakers arrive being leaders and champions of the conference. Both teams had tough series, but that was in the past. Now the two conference champions play for the final title.
Miami Heat: We are here to win.
The Heat won the final series to be crowned Eastern Conference champions against the Boston Celtics. It was a tough series where everyone expected a little more from the Celtics. But the Heat never gave up hope of advancing. Tyler Herro was a key player from the bench, but Jimmy Butler’s leadership was the most important thing during the series.
In the regular season the Heat did not play the Lakers. This is the first time they are going to meet.
