Kindlon told the jury Hussain couldn't have known Mavis lied about the work done on the 2001 Ford Excursion limousine or forsee the fatal crash.

NBA Western Conference Finals: Key matchup, top performers, and more

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:14:48 GMT

The Los Angeles Lakers are seeking their 33rd trip to the NBA Finals. LeBron James is seeking his 11th. And the Denver Nuggets are seeking their first. Denver has been the team that everyone has chased in the Western Conference for most of the season. The Nuggets moved atop the conference standings in mid-December and stayed there the rest of the way. The Lakers started 2-10 and didn’t spend a single day over the .500 mark until March 31. But they’re 18-6 in their last 24 games. That's the NBA’s best record over that span.Key matchup: Denver’s Nikola Jokic vs. the Lakers’ Anthony Davis. Jokic cannot be stopped. The two-time MVP is Mr. Everything for Denver, a triple-double machine who makes scoring, passing and rebounding look so easy. But Davis is one of the best defenders in the game and likely one of the few players in the NBA who truly can make life difficult for someone as strong and skilled as Jokic.Injury watch: There isn’t much to report here. James and Davis have nagging is...
