Miami Heat vs. Los Angeles Lakers

The NBA Christmas Special Game

Welcome to the NBA's, Miami Heat vs. Los Angeles Lakers Christmas Special. 

The game that all Heat and Laker fans were anxiously awaiting for months. Who will be the victor? 

Miami Heat came in strong in the 1st quarter. There many amazing plays. One for instance, was a great pass form Bosh to Lebron James for a 3 point shot. The Lakers on the other hand, weren't playing at the top of their game in this quarter. The first quarter ends MIA:20 @ LAL: 14.

Coming into the 2nd quarter, the Heat were still playing strong. Lakers were starting to pick up the pace on their game. The heat need to keep the hustle and keep playing a good defense. 

4:15 left in the 2nd quarter. The Heat can't afford to get cocky just yet, and continue to play like they were at the start of the game. The first half ends with MIA:47 @ LAL:38. The Heat finish the 1st half with a 9 point lead. 

Miami is officially not the same team we saw in the beginning of the season. Nor are they the same team we saw play against the Lakers earlier in the season. They are playing a lot more intensely , complimenting each other every step of the way. The Lakers aren't playing like 2010 NBA Champs, that a lot of people know and love. 

Coming into the 3rd quarter, Miami, still going on strong, making grea plays. At 1:10 left in the 3rd quarter, LBJ made a good 2 point shot, just as the shot clock came to an end. The 3rd quarter ended with MIA:75 @ LAL: 64.

Miami needs to keep their focus and their consistency, coming into this 4th quarter. They need to rebound more and they need to stop making crazy shots. 

Just when you thought the game couldn't get any better, LBJ made two great steals. Amazing plays by the Heat throughout the whole game. Of course the 4th quarter ends with MIA:96 @ LAL:80. It was not the best game for the Los Angeles Lakers, making this game their 2nd at home game loss. 

Al though, it was great news for the Miami Heat fans who were anxiously awaiting the outcome of this game. Sorry Laker fans maybe next time. 

The stats for the night were. Bryant with 17 points, 6 REB, 7Asst. LBJ: 27 pts. 11 Reb, 5 Asst. Bosh: 24 pts., 13 Reb. Wade ends the game with 18 pts., 5 Reb.The best Christmas for the Miami Heat. Quote by D. Wade, "I just got my X-mas gift."
