Three teams have advanced to the NBA Conference Finals. The Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets will face each other in the West while the Heat wait to see who they will play in the East.

LeBron James won his second series against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in their fifth meeting, though not in the NBA Finals this time.

Nikola Jokic didn't win the NBA Most Valuable Player award for the third time in a row, but he is leading the Denver Nuggets over the Phoenix Suns and on the way to something bigger.

The Heat count on the toughness of Jimmy Butler during clutch time. Meanwhile, the rest of the team are resilient enough to eliminate the New York Knicks and reach the East Finals for the third time in four years.
