LAKE BUENA VISTA (AP) — Bam Adebayo woke up on Monday with the realization that only two teams still have a chance to win this season’s NBA championship.
Goosebumps kicked in at the thought.
What was once a 22-team bubble at Walt Disney World is down to the final two, with Adebayo and the Miami Heat set to take on LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals that start on Wednesday night.
It’s the first finals matchup between the clubs, with the Lakers looking for a record-tying 17th title and the Heat are seeking their fourth in the last 15 seasons.
