In the first NBA In-Season Tournament, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Indiana Pacers in the final game on Saturday night. They won the first NBA Cup.
The Lakers beat all of their opponents and won $500,000 for each player and staff member. They went 7-0 and had a plus-135 point difference in the tournament.
LeBron James was named MVP of the playoffs, which was expected, but Anthony Davis was also a strong candidate.
Davis had the most points (41), rebounds (20), assists (5), and blocks (4 blocks). James had the most points (24) with 11 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals.
James played even better in the quarterfinal win over the New Orleans Pelicans. He scored 30 points in just 22 minutes, making 9 of 12 shots. Since James has said he wants to own an NBA team in Las Vegas, he put on a show for the city that could become his home.
