The Los Angeles Lakers blew out the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night and now the team is squaring off against the Golden State Warriors in round two of the NBA Playoffs.
This is easily the most prolific second-round series not just this year but in recent NBA history. Two generational players are squaring off in the playoffs in what is a rematch of sorts from all of the NBA Finals matchups in years past.
It will be a very interesting second-round series to watch between LeBron James and Stephen Curry. Here is everything you need to know.

The Los Angeles Lakers are on an every-other-day schedule in round two against the Warriors so they will not get the benefit of getting extra days of rest like they did against the Memphis Grizzlies in round one.
Game 1, Game 4 and Game 5 will all be televised on TNT. Game 2 and Game 6 will be televised on ESPN, Game 3 will be televised on ABC. The TV channel for Game 7 has not yet been revealed and will be determined if that game is necessary.
