The Warriors’ upcoming series against the Lakers can join other notable playoff showdowns between California teams vying for pro championships.
SAN FRANCISCO — Chants of “Beat L.A.!” will welcome the Los Angeles Lakers into the Chase Center tonight. It’s a rite of passage into their conference semifinal series with the Warriors and it’s another battle in the LA-vs.-SF, surf-vs.-turf war.
A championship is not an immediate reward for the victor of this seven-game series, unlike the last time Steph Curry’s Warriors played a series against a LeBron James-led team. That 2018 NBA Finals sweep was James’ final set of games with the Cleveland Cavaliers before he then fled to the Lakers.One ground rule: Play-in games do not count.
That was their only playoff meeting until two years ago, when the Rams returned the favor and won the NFC crown 20-17 at home en route to their own Super Bowl win.Eric “Sleepy” Floyd scored a record 29 points in a fourth-quarter outburst and finished with 51 points to beat the “Showtime” Lakers, in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals. “Sleepy Floyd is Superman!” play-by-play man Greg Papa hollered amid the 129-121 win on May 10, 1987.
