While James is in his 20th season in the NBA and one of the greatest players of all time, Tatum is one of the rising stars in the league at 25 years old. 

The two went up against each other in the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals (when James was on the Cleveland Cavaliers) and the Cavs won the series in seven games. 

With the victory over the Timberwolves, the Lakers will now face off with Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the NBA Playoffs (the series begins on Sunday). 

As for the Celtics, they are the second seed in the Eastern Conference and will begin their series with Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday.
