About 2023 NBA Western Conference Finals
The Los Angeles Lakers finished the 2023 NBA regular season as the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference but coalesced around leaders LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the playoffs. The team has gotten outstanding performances out of players like Austin Reaves and Dennis Schroder as they downed the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors to get to the Conference Finals.
But they haven’t run into a buzzsaw like the Nuggets yet. Denver has arguably the best basketball player currently playing on any court in Nikola Jokic and have shown incredible depth this postseason so far. Jamal Murray has been terrific, but contributions have come from all over the court, from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to Bruce Brown to rookie Christian Braun. After sweeping the Minnesota Timberwolves in their first series, the Nuggets downed the Phoenix Suns in the semifinals.
