James finished the game with a triple-double stat line of 28 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. In addition to his strong performance, Davis recorded 19 points, 15 rebounds, and three assists.

Both Lakers changed the trajectory of Game 6, but Rajon Rondo put his imprint on the game early. Rondo contributed 19 points, four assists, and four rebounds.

In addition to Rondo’s stat line, he helped LA set the tone, get into their offense, and take care of the ball. Most of his plays may not be a feature on SportsCenter, but his hustle, effort, and energy plays lifted the Lakers.
