Can Butler and the Heat bounce back from their game 1 drubbing? Get the full LA Lakers vs Miami Heat live stream schedule and options for the NBA Finals — no matter where you are.
We knew that LeBron, Anthony and the rest of the Lakers line-up would be pumped, but we hadn’t imagined they would deliver such a game 1 destruction job on Miami in the first game of the 2020 NBA Finals. Can the Heat bounce back? Read on for our guide to watching a LA Lakers vs Heat live stream and catch game 2 action online — no matter where you are win the world. The Los Angeles Lakers confirmed their place in the Finals after finishing off the Denver Nuggets in Game 5 bringing to an end the battling Nuggets’ streak of coming back from 3-1 deficits. While the Miami Heat had to wait until Game 6 to book their place at the NBA bubble in Orlando for the Finals, eventually seeing off the Boston Celtics to take the Eastern Conference crown. It marks the first time the Lakers have appeared in the finals since their title-winning 2010 season, and sees LeBron James back in the finals after a one-season hiatus. King James must now face his former team Miami Heat, whom he led to consecutive NBA titles back in 2012 and 2013. He (one assist away from another triple double) and Anthony Davis (34 points) really delivered on their star power in game 1, leading the Lakers to a 116-98 victory. The Heat come into the series as heavy underdogs, but its a billing that has suited them so far this campaign, going in as a No.5 seed on their against-the-odds run to the Finals. As it did in the ‘regular’ season and playoffs, all the action is taking place without fans at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex in Orlando, Florida — part of Disney World, yes, but certainly no holiday given the circumstances.
