Three games into the NBA Restart, the Los Angeles Lakers have finally clinched the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference...after defeating the Utah Jazz, 116-108, at Walt Disney World in Florida yesterday. The last time the Lake Show had a playoff berth was back in 2013—when Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol had Steve Nash and Dwight Howard on their team. And they got swept by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round.
However, the last time the Lakers had the No. 1 seed in the West going into the postseason was back in 2010—when, of course, Kobe, Pau, Derek Fisher and Co. won the championship after besting the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Here's hoping that LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Co. repeat this statistic instead. They have the memory of the great Mamba to motivate them to do so... Happy Tuesday.
