Could the LA Lakers walk away with an NBA Championship Friday night?

The odds for Game 5 have LA as a -7 favorite. The number has come off the -7.5. Action was surprisingly balanced on this game with the spread.
The Lakers will shoot for their first title since 2010, when they defeated the Boston Celtics in seven games. They also will be gunning for their 17th title, which would tie them with the Celtics for most in the NBA.
In Game 4, LeBron James had 28 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists as the Lakers converted buckets down the stretch to hold off the pesky Heat. Davis' 3-pointer with 39.5 seconds remaining sealed the win.
James credited Rajon Rondo with putting Davis in position for the crucial shot.
"It was just a great setup by (Rondo)," James said. "The possession before that, (Rondo) was able to fake it like he was going back to him, carry himself into the lane and get a layup, and then the very next possession he was able to find him and (Davis) just kind of stared at the shot clock, knew it was late in the shot clock and obviously trusted his shot that he works on consistently.
"Big-time shot. Big-time play for our team to be able to put the game away."
