If Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinal series between the No. 6-ranked Golden State Warriors and the No. 7-seed Los Angeles Lakers is any indication, we’re in for a hot second round. Lakers center Anthony Davis took over in Game 1 going down 30 points and grabbing 23 rebounds to lead Los Angeles to a 117-112 victory and a 1-0 lead.

This is the AD version many Lakers fans have been waiting for, and if he can continue this production, a path to the NBA Finals could be opened. Meanwhile, the Warriors remain the defending champions and defeated the upstart Sacramento Kings in seven games in the first round. Stephen Curry, who is out of his Game 7 of 50, needs his fellow champions to step up in the series. Kevon Looney is a beast on the boards. Can he score another 20-plus game?
