DAVAO CITY---Davao Occidental Tigers head coach Don Dulay has joined millions of Los Angeles Lakers in celebrating the 2020 NBA championship crown of their favorite NBA team.

Dulay, a self-confessed Lakers fan expressed great joy on the 106-93 victory of the Lakers against the Miami Heat in game 6 of their best of seven championship series.

LeBron James logged a triple-double -- 28 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists -- to win his fourth Finals MVP award and fourth ring. He has now won championships with three franchises.

Anthony Davis added 19 points and 15 boards Sunday.

It was the third wire-to-wire victory to clinch an NBA title in the past 50 seasons, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, joining the 1982 Lakers and the 1986 Boston Celtics.

After failing to beat the Heat in Friday's Game 5 -- James' first loss in a closeout opportunity in his Finals career -- Lakers coach Frank Vogel changed the starting lineup, moving Davis to the 5 and plugging Alex Caruso in Dwight Howard's place for a smaller, quicker group.
