Two of the top teams in the National Basketball Association will give fans a treat when they face each other on Christmas day.
The defending champion Los Angeles Lakers will host the star-studded Miami Heat team on Saturday day in one of the most highly anticipated games of the current NBA season.
The home-team Lakers are slight favorite in their game due to their superior 21-8 compared to the 22-9 record of the visiting Heat.
Leading the charge for the Lakers in this game are its superstars Kobe “Black Mamba” Bryant, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest.
Bryant, the heart and soul of the Lakers needs to assert himself again in scoring and defense to bring victory to the home-team.
Gasol and Odom needs to control the rebounds and dominate the pain to bring headache and eventual defeat to the Heat.
Artest for his part needs to play tough defense to stop James, the Heat leading scorer from having an explosive night against the defending champion.
As the defending NBA champion, the Lakers needs to assert its experience and poise to ensure the Heat cannot defeat them at home.
The visiting Heat for its part can surprise the Lakers and came up with a win if its big three will have a huge game come game-time.
Wade, James and Bosh needs to produce solid numbers not only in scoring but also in defense and assist as well.
Beating the Lakers at home is hard but the Heat has the personnel to do it if they will just give their all come game-time.
The Heat is starting to find its winning groove this year and they can further boost their morale if they can beat the Lakers on Christmas day.
The key of beating the Lakers is to control the rebounds and stop Bryant from having a scoring feast and the Heat can do it if they will play their A-game come game-time.
