The finale that everyone wants to see in National Basketball Association (NBA) arrived early on the night of February 18, since then Los Angeles Lakers has been measured before Brooklyn Nets on the Staples Center court in a rather striking duel.
Result? The big three of the “Super Nets” dominated 109-98, after something strange that hadn’t happened in the New York quintet since James Harden he joined: A good defense And what time to appear before LeBron James and company!
The weak defense of the Nets allowed over 100 points in 21 of the last 24 gamesTherefore, a massive production of the Lakers was expected, but miraculously they made the necessary adjustments against the California team to stop them dead with 98 units.
Now, despite the defeat T-shirt number 23 reached 35,000 points by a free throw in the second quarter, so it was not bad at all for the “King”, only collectively the result was upward.
James Harden won the battle against LeBron James
James Harden was not discouraged by LeBron James’ 35,000 motivesOn the contrary, it was brilliant with a production of 23 points, 11 assists and five rebounds to lead the team to victory in the absence of Kevin Durant, closely followed by Joe Harris with 21 points, five rebounds and one assist.
On the other hand, LeBron James’ 32 points could not contribute to the victory of the Los Angeles quintet, who was devoid of offensive ideas in several sections of the game without the presence of Anthony Davis on the field, because he only has one game away and already misses him.
