LOS ANGELES: The Los Angeles Lakers ran defending champions Golden State out of the NBA playoffs in dominant style on Friday (Saturday in Manila), beating the Warriors, 122-101, to advance to the Western Conference finals.

LeBron James delivered a masterful 30-point performance as the Lakers won the semifinal series four games to two, and booked a clash with Nikola Jokic and the top-seeded Denver Nuggets for a place in the NBA Finals.
