Thanks to a game-winning 3-point bomb from Anthony Davis in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals on Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers will stroll into the third game of their series against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday with a 2-0 lead in the series. If they win again on Tuesday, they’ll only need five more wins to secure a championship.
The team’s success this year hasn’t been all that surprising in the aggregate, and when you consider their star talent, but what has been eye-opening is how tight-knit this group has become in such a short amount of time.
