Anthony Davis is a “warrior” for playing through a right heel contusion, LeBron James says. Davis had 28 points for the Lakers in the Game 5 loss.

LeBron James says Lakers fans “don’t give a damn what you’ve done before” as Los Angeles is on the cusp of clinching its first NBA title since 2010.

The Lakers will wear the Black Mamba jerseys that honor Kobe Bryant during Game 5 of the NBA Finals. “We’re representing him” Anthony Davis said.

Two days after a poor outing, Anthony Davis scored 22 points, hit a huge dagger 3 late and played stifling defense to help the Lakers top the Heat.

The Lakers were upset with themselves for squandering a chance to take a commanding series lead while Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo remain sidelined.

LeBron James appeared visibly upset as he left the court while the final seconds ticked off the clock on the Lakers’ loss to the Heat in Game 3.

Anthony Davis has been dominant in the first two games against the Heat, perhaps setting himself up for the MVP award in addition to his first title.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis became the first Lakers teammates since Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal with 30 points each in an NBA Finals game.

Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo are considered doubtful for Game 2 of the NBA Finals, but the Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler says he’ll play.
