The Lakers took control in the second quarter and blew the game open in the third. They began the third on 22-7 run for an 87-55 lead after a Davis dunk midway through the period. Los Angeles held a 93-67 edge heading into the fourth.

The Lakers, who trailed by as much as 13 in the first quarter, used a 13-0 surge capped by a Markieff Morris 3-pointer for a 54-43 advantage with five minutes remaining in the second period. They increased the margin to 65-48 going into the break.

Los Angeles outscored Miami 34-20 in the second quarter.
