NBA Playoffs: Lakers Close Out Nuggets, Get Miami-Boston Winner In Finals

 At the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Bay Lake, Florida:


LeBron James scored 38 points, grabbed 16 points, and dished out 10 rebounds on Saturday as the Los Angeles Lakers closed out the NBA's Western Conference Finals with their 117-107 game-six victory over the Denver Nuggets.


Anthony Davis added 27 points to the Lakers' coffers.


Jerami Grant (who grabbed nine rebounds) and Nikola Jokic each scored 20 points to pace the Nuggets, who have never reached the NBA Finals in their 44 years since coming over from the late American Basketball Association.


The Lakers will play in their first NBA Finals since winning their most recent league crown in 2010.  Los Angeles will face the winner of the Boston-Miami Eastern Conference Finals (Miami leads the series three games to two).
