Could LA’s recent struggles lead to Miami Heat and LeBron reunion?
By Noah Decker
The Miami Heat recently played the Los Angeles Lakers, winning the game 112-98. It was a well-rounded victory for the Heat.
That game also had a little more meaning to it because of who was playing on the other side. The Heat always want to bring their best effort against former Miami Heat champion, LeBron James.
They also have the added motivation that the Lakers defeated them in the 2020 NBA championship. Since that Finals loss, the Heat have turned the tables on the Lakers.
Miami has won four of its last five games against the Los Angeles Lakers.
