Led by James' Relentless Attacking, Lakers Advance
The Los Angeles Lakers have eliminated the Golden State Warriors from the NBA playoffs, winning Game 6 122-101 on Friday night.
LeBron James led the Lakers with 30 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists, as the Lakers took a commanding victory over the Warriors. The Lakers now advance to the Western Conference Finals, where they will face either the Phoenix Suns or the Dallas Mavericks.
The Warriors, who have won the NBA championship three times in the past four years, were led by Stephen Curry's 27 points. However, Curry was held to just 6-of-21 shooting from the field, as the Lakers' defense clamped down on him.
The Lakers also received strong contributions from Anthony Davis, who had 24 points and 13 rebounds, and Lonnie Walker IV, who had 18 points.
The Lakers' victory is a major upset, as the Warriors were heavily favored to win the series. However, the Lakers played with great heart and determination, and they were able to overcome the Warriors' superior talent.
The Lakers will now face either the Suns or the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals. The Suns are the top seed in the Western Conference, while the Mavericks are the sixth seed. The Lakers will be the underdogs in either matchup, but they have shown that they are capable of anything.
