James let Davis do most of the offensive lifting, but LeBron mercilessly exploited the switches when he saw the opportunity. Watch here as James calls for Herro's man, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, to set the screen for him before he even crosses halfcourt.
After he gets the switch, LeBron signals for the iso and gets to the rim, where he misses the layup but gets his own rebound and gets fouled. Herro and Robinson are a huge part of the Miami offense, but they're going to have to figure out what to do to prevent LeBron from taking advantage of them on the other end.
The Heat looked to be clicking on all cylinders to open the game, but the Lakers' defense quickly put on the clamps and looked nearly impenetrable for the rest of the night. Frank Vogel said before the game that the team's primary goal was to keep Miami off the free throw line, and he has to be pleased. The Heat came in averaging It's extremely difficult to contain the paint against the Heat while also extending the defense out to their excellent 3-point shooters, but the Lakers were able to do it on Wednesday.
If they can keep it up it might be a short series, but it's going to be a difficult task. If you're looking for a silver lining as a Heat fan, you can point to the play of Kendrick Nunn off the bench. Called into action due to the Dragic injury, Nunn -- who has played limited playoff minutes after starting for the entire regular season -- put up 18 points on 8-for shooting in 19 minutes and was actually a plus-8 in a game they lost by 18 points.
Obviously, Nunn is going to need to contribute if Dragic is forced to miss any time or is hindered, and sometimes seeing the ball go in during a stretch of garbage time can get a player going. Don't be surprised if Nunn sees the floor in Game 2, even if Dragic suits up. Bubble appearance as the LakersWin Game 1! Strong Finals debut for the Bron-Brow combo.
