The Los Angeles Lakers host the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals on Friday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
With a 3-2 series lead, the Lakers will get another shot to knock out the defending NBA champs and advance to the Western Conference finals for the second time since 2010. They came up empty during their first such chance on Wednesday night when Golden State muscled past them and claimed a 121-106 win in San Francisco.
The two teams head back to Southern California for Game 6. Although the Lakers will have their home fans behind them, they must play with a greater sense of urgency, otherwise, this series will head north for a decisive Game 7 on Sunday with the momentum in the Warriors’ favor.
