The first three rounds of the G League playoffs consist of single-game elimination rounds. The two surviving teams from the first three rounds will then face each other in the G League finals, which is a best-of-three championship series.<\/p>\n

The Clippers are the eighth seed in the Western Conference after finishing 18-17. The Lakers defeated them once during the regular season while going 1-2 versus them during the tip-off tournament.<\/p>\n
