LeBron James delivered a historic performance for the ages, but it wasn’t his effort alone that fueled the Lakers to their new rallying cry of “four more.” Anthony Davis was excellent again, Dwight Howard’s resurgence is real, and a commitment to defense is why the Lakers are in the driver’s seat for the final showdown.

We’ve had a moment to breathe, but we’re still not pleased. Brandon Marcus welcomes back Justin Wilson to the show, and the guys hit on how this crumbling was different than five years ago. Plus, where do the Clippers go from here and what are the team’s top priorities this offseason?
Going into game six we fully expect the Heat to close, but let me reiterate as to way I think that is NOT a good thing for the Heat. LeBron and the Lakers won last night. As I said before I thought that they would be here. However I believe he means more to the game of basketball, than others think. Lastly there is a player that was in LeBron’s situation that I hope was watching him last eve.
That’s all going to be on here on Hoopball Heat!
