Tonight, the Miami Heat gave the Lakers a challenge, despite Los Angeles winning by double digits. Unlike Game 1, the Lakers were not able to run away with the game. However, also unlike Game 1, the Heat did not lead this game, early, how they did Game 1.
After the crushing Game 1 win, the Los Angeles Lakers were expected to cruise to a win, this series. The biggest debate has been who will win the Finals MVP, Anthony Davis or LeBron James. If that is the battle, a shift was made by Kendrick Nunn, late in the game.
When Anthony Davis, who has dominated all game long, went up for a dunk, Kendrick Nunn met him. As Davis went up, Kendrick Nunn blocked him, shocking fans. On Twitter, fans are still talking about how Kendrick Nunn denied AD of another easy dunk.
KENDRICK NUNN DENIES AD.
Tough.
