The Los Angeles Lakers captured their 18th NBA championship last night with a pulse-pounding 118-115 overtime victory over the Boston Celtics. LeBron James led all scorers with 38 points, including the game-winning three-pointer with 12 seconds remaining.
The win caps a remarkable playoff run for the Lakers, who overcame a 3-1 deficit in the Western Conference Finals before sweeping through the championship series. Anthony Davis added 28 points and 15 rebounds in what many are calling one of the greatest Finals performances in recent memory.
