LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are now just one win away from winning the NBA title down in the Orlando bubble after beatin Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat, 102-96, in Game 4 of the Finals on Tuesday night.

The Heat stayed close throughout the game and had chances in the second half to maybe even the series but LeBron and Anthony Davis came up big when they had to down the stretch – which isn’t anything new for this team – and put the game away.

And it certainly wasn’t surprising.

This Lakers team has been unreal – and literally unbeatable – when they have a lead after three quarters, which they did Tuesday night. They are now 56-0 this season when leading after three quarters, which is a NBA record and which is why they are going to win the championship likely on Friday night.

They are closers, and historic closers at that. 56-0 when leading after three quarters!? That is just ridiculous. While other teams might fall apart down the stretch of some games, these Lakers only get better and make it look easy, which is probably not that hard to do when you have two of the best players in the world in the lineup. But still, it’s so darn impressive. And so darn deflating if you’re on the other side and trying to beat them.

The Lakers are now one win away from closing out what has been an emotional season with something the late Kobe Bryant would have loved – another title.

This one will be the first one since 2010 when Kobe and Pau Gasol beat the Celtics in seven games.

Kobe was one of the best closers in the game, so it’s only fitting that this year’s team is the best closer in history.

And on Friday, this series gets closed out for good.
