4月23日NBA季后赛G2，洛杉矶湖人队客场99-101不敌丹佛掘金队。 The two sides are already old rivals, and they know each other's technical characteristics very well, and they didn't try too much in the last game, they just fired on their firepower, and the ending was as expected, it was still the Lakers who hated to lose. This game is very stressful for the Lakers, if the Lakers can win a city at the Nuggets home court, then it will be a reassurance for all their players, and the overall self-confidence will go up, which will play a considerable role in the subsequent games. But the ideal is always good, the Lakers have exposed too many shortcomings in the last battle, and they are all old problems, the guard line defense is bad and can only rely on odd soldiers and changes, in the face of the Nuggets' tall forward group, the Lakers can't get cheap whether they fight inside or outside, and they are optimistic about the Nuggets going to the next city. Let's take a look at the starters of both sides.
Both starters:
Nuggets: Murray, Pope, Gordon, Michael Porter, Jokic
Lakers: Russell, Reaves, James, Hachimura, Anthony Davis
At the beginning of the game, the Lakers quickly entered the state, James tank burst into 2+1, and led the Nuggets 13-7 in the opening game.
湖人越战越勇，詹姆斯抢到篮板不看人直接扔前场，浓眉轻松扣篮打停掘金，依旧是猛如虎的开局。
调整回来湖人攻势不减，詹姆斯弧顶空位三分命中，湖人开局三分5中4，今天准起来了。
掘金迅速给予回应，约基奇三分命中再送抛投，追到5分打停湖人，灵活而且有篮的大胖子非常难防。

比赛进入第二节，掘金开始发力，戈登假传真突骗到海斯，突入内线双手暴力炸筐，不愧是扣篮王。
湖人延续火力，拉塞尔运到前场直接三分出手命中，目前三分5中5，手感来了挡都挡不住。
时间缓缓流逝，湖人越打越流畅！浓眉面对约基奇连进2个，已得到20分，攻防两端都拉满了。

In the final quarter, the Nuggets continued to fight back and sent a 10-1 offensive run led by Murray to chase down to two points.
