NBA play-offs 2020

By Chris Dinsdale

September 30, 2020 - October 13, 2020 - Die NBA Finale haben begonnen, ein best-of-seven Playoff zwischen den Los Angeles Lakers und dem Miami Heat, den Champion Teams der NBA Western und Eastern Conferences.

LeBron James, formerly Heat’s “Most Valuable Player”, appears in his 10th NBA Finals, leading the Los Angeles Lakers against a resurgent Miami team inspired by the mercurial Jimmy Butler.

Los Angeles are aiming to equal the Boston Celtics’ record haul of 17 championships. After posting a 52-19 win/loss record in regular season play – qualifying for the Florida showpiece as No.1 seed in the Western Conference – the Lakers secured play-off series victories over Portland, Houston and Denver to secure their first NBA Finals berth since 2010.

Miami Heat are looking to win their fourth championship title, after hoisting the trophy in 2006, 2012, and 2013. Seeded No.5 in the Eastern Conference, Heat started the play-offs with an emphatic 4-0 series win over Indiana, before wins against Milwaukee and Boston.

The pair have met 64 times in NBA history, with the Lakers winning 37 matches to Heat’s 27, including their current four-match winning steak.
