It’s the LeBron vs. the Warriors again.
An improbable matchup between the No. 6 and No. 7 seeds in the Western Conference will commence on Tuesday, with Golden State getting home-court advantage. The NBA posted the entire schedule for the series before GSW’s win over the Kings in Game 7 on Sunday. Here’s what it looks like:
That’s one day between every game of the series, which could affect the energy level of both teams considering they are on the older side. It might affect the Warriors more due to the fact that they just had to go the distance vs. the Kings, while the Lakers dispatched with the Grizzlies in six.
The Warriors and Lakers played four times this season, with Los Angeles wining three of four. LeBron and Curry only played in one of those games, and it was the one Golden State won, 123-109 in the first game of the season.
This will be the first time the Warriors have faced James in a playoff series since 2018, when they beat LeBron for the third time in the NBA Finals in four years.
