2023 NBA playoffs scores, results, series schedules, TV info: Lakers take down Grizzlies in Game 6 to advance

The Los Angeles Lakers took care of business on Friday night in a 40-point win over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 6 to secure their spot in the Western Conference semifinals. Their opponent, however, is still unclear as the Kings were able to pick up an impressive road win over the Warriors in Game 6 to force a do-or-die Game 7 at Golden 1 Center on Sunday afternoon.

In the East, the Boston Celtics are on their way to the Eastern Conference semifinals after taking down the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night in what was a highly competitive game. Now, we will get the matchup that all basketball fans wanted as Boston and the Philadelphia 76ers will square off in the second round. 

The biggest playoff shocker thus far took place on Wednesday night as the No. 8 Heat taking out the NBA’s best regular-season team in five games. Yes, the top-seeded Bucks are on summer vacation, as are the Cavaliers who had no answer for the Knicks in this matchup. Miami will head to New York for Sunday’s Game 1 at Madison Square Garden.

And in the last conference semifinal, the West’s top-seeded Nuggets will host the Suns in Game 1 on Saturday.
