My Pistons Lakers analysis is a bit different. I saw one team that came to compete and competed. I saw another team that thought the NBA Championship would be a coronation rather than a competition.

The Lakers never were mentally or physically prepared to fight for a ring. They quit in every game, because as a team, they didn't have that deep down commitment to do whatever it takes to win. Part of that is style of play, and part of that is will. The team with the stronger will clearly won.
Might be even simpler to say than that. Just say that the "team" won. And deservedly so.
