The Lakers and Jazz each eliminated their respective opponents tonight.
The Lakers defeated the Thunder 4-2 on a dramatic last-second tip in by Pau Gasol with .5 left in the game.
The Jazz knocked off the stumbling Nuggets, but perhaps the bigger news is the injury of Deron Williams (wrist). We’ll keep an eye on that.
This Sunday marks Game 1 of round 2, Lakers vs. Jazz. Tip off is at 12:30PST on ABC. Time to silence the Jazz… again!
What are your thoughts on this match up? The Lakers have knocked out the Jazz the last two playoff years; a legit rivalry in the West.
Regardless of the past, we here at TheLakersNation.com hope that Williams will be alright and ready to go come Sunday!
