Once again, dominant Jokic finishing with his eighth triple-double of the playoffs (30 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists).

A stellar James, capable of putting up an impressive 40 points (31 in the first half alone), was not enough for the LA Lakers. LBJ. in the finale, appeared in oxygen debt. The other yellow-violet star Davis did not particularly shine: 21 points but with a mediocre 6/15 from the field. “It’s unbelievable, it’s a lot of fun. It’s surreal. We want to keep making history. We want to keep that mentality,” the words of Murray (25 points) reported by ESPN.
