Christmas Day 2010 featured the main course of matchups, thus far during the 2010-11 NBA regular season. Lebron James would come into Staples Center and along with Wade and Bosh to play against Bryant and the two time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. Miami won the game 96-80, however they beat LA in every faze of the game. Especially defensively, Miami was stingy, limiting Kobe to 6 for 16 shooting from the field, Wade anchored the defensive effort vs. Bryant. Miami bigs limited the front line of Gasol, Odom and Bynum. Miami seems to be peaking, while the Lakers seem to be struggling over the past 2-3 weeks. LA currently is 4th in the West, while Miami after a slow start is 2nd in the East. Will this be a NBA Finals preview or could either team fall by the waist side during the playoffs. James gave the Knicks a triple double last week in New York. Christmas Day 3000 miles away he gave the Lakers a triple double in Los Angeles.
