LeBron versus Jokic. The 2020 NBA champions versus the 2023 NBA champions. Round 1 of the playoffs start off swinging.
For the third time in five years, and second year in a row, Los Angeles and Denver face off in the NBA playoffs. At least this time, it’s not in the conference finals. The Nuggets clinched a No. 2 seed while the Lakers earned a No. 7 seed, defeating the Pelicans in the play-ins.
The western conference teams met three times during the regular season. It resulted in a sweep by the Nuggets, just like they did in last year’s playoffs. But an early playoff matchup can be full of surprises.
