The Western Conference finals will be contested between the Lakers and the Nuggets.
The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 with a thrashing, securing a meeting with the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals.
Los Angeles Lakers defeated the NBA's reigning champions to go to the Western Conference finals and face the Denver Nuggets.
In addition to defeating the Golden State Warriors 122-101 and winning the Western Conference semifinal series 4-2, the Lakers also dominated them.
In the second half of Game 6 in front of a boisterous sold-out crowd at Crypto.com Arena, the Lakers led by as much as 24 points.
LeBron James did a great job in the last push and created NBA history on way to the victory that ended the series.
James moved over Shaquille O'Neal to take over fourth place all-time in postseason rebounds with his 2,509th career rebound.

James has always been renowned for his all-around ability, and his statistical standings in regular season and postseason action assist to highlight his excellence in every aspect of basketball.
James, who is already the NBA's all-time top scorer, has a wide range of abilities that were clearly demonstrated throughout this series.
After defeating the reigning champion Warriors, the Lakers now have to play a Denver Nuggets squad that was the top seed in the Western Conference.
For the Lakers, who in many respects were able to salvage what appeared to be a lost season, it has been a crazy year.
They are currently in the Western Conference Finals and need one more series victory to return to the NBA Finals after winning the title in 2020.
LeBron James hasn't scored as many points in these playoffs as he has throughout his career, but he's still a dangerous threat, and the star forward is finding other ways to have an effect on the outcome of games.
