It’s the Bay versus LA as the Warriors and Lakers battle, starting on Tuesday.
But the most important matchup may not be Curry versus whoever guards him, or James against the Warriors’ wings like Andrew Wiggins . Instead, the series may come down to Anthony Davis going up against Kevon Looney and Draymond Green.
After a rollicking seven-game series against the Kings, who Curry helped vanquish with an NBA Game 7 record 50 points on Sunday, it’s a quick turnaround for Golden State. Will fatigue be a factor, especially since Los Angeles got to rest on Sunday? We’ll find out soon enough. After a 32-year wait for this matchup, even the final few minutes feels like too long to get going. But it’s finally here — and it should be a blast.
Follow along with our reporters Madeline Kenney, Jason Mastrodonato, Curtis Pashelka, Shayna Rubin and columnist Dieter Kurtenbach and other analysts providing their thoughts about the game.
