On April 23, Beijing time, the Nuggets played against the Lakers at home, and the Nuggets successfully defeated the Lakers 101-99 at the end of the game. The Lakers really tried their best in this game, Russell's early outburst and thick eyebrows were hot, so the Lakers once led to 20 points in the game, but in the second half of the game, the Lakers' lead was constantly eroded, and finally Murray hit the shot to beat the Lakers to win the game, it should be said that the Lakers lost such a game is really uncomfortable, after all, the Lakers are not without effort in this game, but at the critical moment Murray stepped up, James's three-point miss at the last moment was too deadly, and now this round of the series Nuggets are also 2-0 ahead of the Lakers。
After this game, Su Qun updated social media and said: The Lakers couldn't have played better than this one, but the second half was far less than the first half, mainly because of their physical strength. Today, the Lakers changed back to the rotation order of the regular season, also because James couldn't play the first quarter, and it was already good to have two three-pointers and steals and fast breaks, but Murray was too good in the end. It can be said that Su Qun also hit the nail on the head when he talked about the Lakers, the Lakers really tried their best in this game, but the Lakers still had physical problems in the second half of the game, especially the thick eyebrows here in the second half of the game is obviously not as good as the first half, although James stepped forward, but unfortunately the Nuggets are not only Murray, you must know that Porter's equalizing three points is also crucial for the Nuggets, so it is really a pity that the Lakers lost the game.
Now James is also suffering a shameful record, this game James played 38 minutes, 9 of 18 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 7 free throws and 5 of 26 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists. So far, James has suffered six consecutive losses in his playoffs, the longest in his career. However, James is really good at such an age, but the time is also fateful, and the Nuggets are really Tianke Lakers in the lineup. However, after this game, Ham also put down his arrogance, and after the game, Ham said: This kind of loss stung us, we have to remember the feeling now, and then go back to Los Angeles. We need to return the favor in Game 3 and make the Nuggets feel the same way.
Although Ham's voice is really morale-boosting, it's just that it's really too difficult for the Lakers to do this, and the Lakers actually have a chance to win the game in the two playoffs, but in the second half of the game, the Lakers can always have problems, even if the Lakers are already leading by 20 points in the game, it is unstable, so it is too difficult for the Lakers to make such a comeback. And from the point of view of this game, 2 points really hurt the Lakers, the first point is the Lakers' mistakes, the Lakers really had too many low-level mistakes in this game, and the Lakers had such a problem from the second quarter of the game, but at this time the Lakers were in the lead, and the Lakers continued to eat away at the score in the third quarter, which was also related to the Lakers' problems, and even in the fourth quarter, the Lakers made such mistakes, and the Lakers made 14 mistakes at the end of the game, and the Nuggets took advantage of the Lakers' mistakes to score 13 points.
The second point is to lose the backcourt rebounds, in this game the Nuggets are still fighting to grab 9 frontcourt rebounds, and the second offense got 10 points, it can be said that such a situation is really quite unfavorable for the Lakers, especially in the fourth quarter of the game after the Nuggets grabbed the offense, Porter hit three points, which is a huge blow to the Lakers, but as long as the Lakers at that time can protect the rebounds, then the Lakers will not be so passive, so the Lakers should also bear a huge price for such a mistake. And in the next game, the Lakers not only need thick eyebrows and Russell to maintain offensive status, but also if the Lakers are not able to reduce turnovers and protect rebounds, then the Lakers have no way to beat the Nuggets.
