The Los Angeles Lakers were able to edge out the L.A. Clippers during their hypothetical showdown at Staples Center in NBA 2K20’s simulation of the Western Conference Finals, setting up an NBA Finals showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks.
The matchup featured two of the league’s most high-profile stars in LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo, and validated what most fans anticipated was coming to fruition in June if not for the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
As NBA 2K20 looks to fill the basketball void, they have simulated the season and playoffs since real action was suspended. The prospect of the Lakers being able to finish what they started after generating plenty of hype during the offseason was hardly far-fetched.
