The Los Angeles Lakers remain undefeated in the Black Mamba jerseys after their Game 2 victory over the Heat. They have taken a 2-0 lead in the series and can put the series to bed in just two more games.
Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis continued their spectacular forms in the Finals. LBJ scored 10 of his 33 points in the final quarter of the ball game. On the other hand, AD was automatic in the third quarter, scoring 15 of his 32 points during this time.

After the win, LBJ didn’t forget to credit the late legend, Kobe Bryant. This was the Lakers’ fourth victory in the fabulous Black Mamba uniform in the Playoffs. One might wonder, are these jerseys truly magical?
“It’s always special to be able to represent someone that meant so much. Not only to the game, but obviously to the Lakers organization for twenty-plus years. And for us to honor him [Kobe Bryant], being on the floor, this is what it’s all about.
“We’re thinking about the Bryant family, Vanessa, and her daughters. They’re with us and we’re with you guys, we love you guys and hopefully, we’re making them proud by wearing these uniforms tonight and throughout the course of the postseason.”
The Lakers have paid tribute to Kobe and his family at every step of their phenomenal playoff run. However, there is still one thing that remains – winning the NBA Championship. If the Lakers can bring a championship to LA after 10 years, it will be the most beautiful way to cap it off this season.
LeBron James and the Lakers are inches away from winning the 2020 NBA Championship

With the Game 2 victory in the books, the Lakers are now just two more wins away from lifting the NBA trophy. Moreover, prior to the postseason, they expected to lose to their noisy neighbors Clippers.
But we witnessed how that turned out- the Clippers couldn’t even make it to the WCF. As a result, the fans never experienced the much-hyped Battle of LA. All that is in the past. The Lakers are currently dominating the Miami Heat, who had a Cinderella run themselves.
But they haven’t much of a fight against the mighty Lakers in the Finals. What do you think? Can the Lakers clean sweep the Heat, or are there still hopes of a Miami comeback?
