James led the Lakers in scoring with 33 points, nine rebounds and nine assists. It was the second straight game he nearly finished with a triple-double.
Miami was playing without Bam Adebayo and Goran Dragic, both of who were injured in Game 1. The Heat definitely missed Adebayo’s presence down low. Los Angeles outrebounded Miami 44-37 and outscored them in the paint, 56-46.
The Heat were once down 18 points but put on a valiant effort to cut the lead in half toward the end of the third quarter. Jimmy Butler led the Heat with 25 points but it was just too much dominance down low that led the Lakers to the win.
