NBA playoffs, LeBron James dominates game-5 and Denver goes out: Lakers in the final

The Los Angeles Lakers win Game-5 117-107 and return to the NBA final ten years after their last appearance, eliminating the fighting Denver Nuggets. Dominant performance for LeBron James, author of a triple double of 38 points (16 in the final fraction), 16 rebounds and 10 assists, accompanied by Anthony Davis’ 27. Nikola Jokic’s 20 (held back by fouls) and Jamal Murray’s 19 (struggling with injuries) are not enough for the Nuggets: the yellow-violet now await the winner between Boston and Miami.
