The NBA Finals are set…well sort of.

 

The NBA would be in the heart of the playoffs right now, but Adam Silver, league executives, players, and coaches are scrambling to try to find a safe way to resume play. While we hold on to hope for the association to return, the folks at 2K decided to run its own simulation of the 2019-20 NBA Playoffs, and for the most part, it’s been pretty accurate.

In the Western Conference Finals, it was the battle for LA with the Los Angeles Lakers led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis besting Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George led Los Angeles Clippers. The top performers in that matchup should come as no surprise.
