NBA Playoffs: Lakers defeat Warriors to advance to Western Conference Finals against Nuggets

The Los Angeles Lakers eliminated the Golden State Warriors, something no other West club has recently been able to do.

The Lakers defeated the Warriors 122-101 in Game 6 on Friday because to LeBron James' 30 points and an outstanding performance from Austin Reaves, which included a buzzer-beating heave before halftime.

The Lakers advanced to the Western Conference Finals, where they will play the top-seeded Denver Nuggets, starting on Tuesday, after winning the Western Conference Semifinals series 4-2.

The Warriors' summer will be filled with uncertainties regarding player contracts, front-office hiring decisions, and other issues.

The nucleus of the team that won the championships is becoming older, and despite winning the crown last season, a major revamp may be necessary to once again reach the top.
