On April 23, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs G2 continued to unfold, and the Lakers lost to the Nuggets 99-101, falling behind 0-2 in the series. In this game, the Lakers really saw the opportunity to win, and once established a 20-point lead, but then the team's hand began to decline, and the Nuggets continued to score points.
This game was very exciting, the Lakers really tried their best, and they also saw the opportunity to win, but when they led the whole game, they failed to withstand it at the last moment, and the Nuggets have become their nemesis. In the case of a 20-point lead, it still happened in the second half, but I didn't expect the team to suddenly be dumb in the final quarter, on the other hand, the Nuggets played very steadily, and Murray suddenly regained his touch, everything was so natural, with Murray's stunner, the Lakers will leave the game in frustration.
This result directly plunged the Lakers into despair, and if they returned to Los Angeles with a 1-1 score, then their confidence was still very high. But in the end, it became a 20-point reversal, which directly made the players' hearts disappear all of a sudden, and they began to fear the Nuggets as an opponent. In the game, the Nuggets have always been able to keep improving their intensity, and when the three points are not accurate, they can find other offensive means to help the team score points, and it can only be said that they are still the favorites to win the championship.
With the loss of this game, the Lakers have suffered 10 consecutive defeats in the face of the Nuggets, and they really can't beat it. In last season's Western Conference Finals, the Lakers were swept 0-4, and this season's regular season was swept 0-4, and now the series advantage is 0-2 behind, and has become the biggest nemesis. This is the first time in James' career that he has suffered six consecutive losses in the playoffs, all of which were lost to the Nuggets, which is really helpless.
The big score is 0-2 behind, there are not many opportunities left for the Lakers, they really tried their best in the first 2 games, Russell did not play in the last game, this time he hit 7 three-pointers, but he still can't change the fate of losing. It seems that Zhan Mei is going to be out of the first round this time, and he really can't beat it, this time they have played to the extreme, James scored 12 points in the last quarter, 26 points and 12 assists in the game, and Davis got 32 points and 11 rebounds, can they be asked to do more? Both of them also played nearly 40 minutes on the court, but unfortunately they still couldn't lead the team to win.
