Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets will meet today at 7:30 p.mET for Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals of the 2020 NBA playoffs. Here, you’ll find all there is to know about this exciting matchup.

The Denver Nuggets’ feel-good story may come to an end as the Los Angeles Lakers completely dominated in Game 1. Anthony Davis owned the paint with 37 points on a 12-point victory that could’ve been far worse for Mike Malone’s side.

Dwight Howard drank from the fountain of youth and completely owned Nikola Jokic on both ends of the floor. The Lakers shot 37 free-throws as Denver struggled with foul trouble all night long and LeBron James didn’t even need to play more than 30 minutes.
