Lebron James and Anthony Davis were very aggressive with getting to their spots on the floor and took advantage of the Heats' smaller lineup. Davis was just bullying his defender in the paint and was getting easy layups or second chance opportunities on the glass. Rajon Rondo was a huge spark for the Lakers' bench. He put a lot of pressure on Miami's defense and helped the Lakers build a double digit lead with his scoring. Rondo was 6 of 6 with 12 points in the second quarter. LA finished the half on a 15-6 run and blew the game wide open, 64-36.
