After a rocky start to the 2020 NBA Playoffs — losing Game 1 of the first round to the Portland Trail Blazers — the Los Angeles Lakers turned it around and dominated the rest of the way, leading to a 4-1 series win.
Now, they will have a more difficult challenge in store for them for the Western Conference Semifinals as they face the Houston Rockets.
Despite immense struggles during the eight seeding games, the Lakers very quickly found their way against the Trail Blazers. They took advantage of an undermanned and truly outmatched team, leading to some big wins.
