After routing the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 6 of the first round of the NBA playoffs on Friday, the Los Angeles Lakers will face Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals.
This could be an instant classic. It offers just about everything — two of the game’s all-time greats, Curry and LeBron James; additional stars such as Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins; and two of the NBA’s marquee franchises, one the defending champion and the one that won it all three years ago.
Fans are in for a treat, and they took to Twitter to express their excitement and anticipation.
