Why Lakers DID NOT Take Advantage of THEIR OWN ADVANTAGES?

From Finals games #3 to #5, in my view, the Lakers DID NOT take advantage of THEIR OWN ADVANTAGES? If playing small and quick, Lakers can be dominating too in offense and defense. If mostly shooting from the perimeter, Lakers can be excellent too. However, in my opinion, the best advantages the Lakers have are 1) their SUPERIOR in the painting area OFFENSIVELY and DEFENSIVELY; 2) their skilled and experienced NBA VETERANS. One particular piece of comment to LeBron, you may need to do MORE in mobilizing and assisting your teammates. You could have scored 50 or 60 points yourself in a losing game, but you could also have had double-digits in assistance and rebounce in a winning game. The winning Games #1 and #2 were won the landslide way for reasons. In awarding, the NBA championship comes first to everyone in the team, then comes the Finals MVP to the one most valuable to the winning team.
If the Lakers want to reflect over the last seconds of Game #5, they need to think about why Anthony close to the hoop was not able to catch the passing ball? Was it because somebody or something was grapping his dick or underwear or jersey?
