The final result was that the Lakers lost to the Nuggets 103-114, and the total score of the series fell behind 0-1, even if James and thick eyebrows combined to cut 59 points and 20 rebounds, they failed to turn things around, but the Nuggets' Jokic was full of firepower, cutting down 32 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists gorgeous data.
On the court, whenever you think the Lakers can pull the score away, the Nuggets are like the kind of diehards who don't eat this set at all, and they just chase the score back. Especially in the third quarter, the Lakers, who were still ahead, were forcibly reversed by a wave of fierce 13-0 offensive by the Nuggets, and the scene was even more exciting than the TV series.
At the beginning of the game, James was like a Warrior who was hanging, scoring 8 points in a row in the first few minutes, as if telling the audience: "Sit tight, this is my court!" But Jokic on the Nuggets' side is not a vegetarian, and his performance can be described as "omnipotent", especially at critical moments in the game, scoring and assisting again and again is completely the anchor of the Nuggets.
On the Lakers' side, the performance of thick eyebrows and big eyes is also quite eye-catching, not only the charming statistics, but also the violent dunks under the basket again and again, which is dazzling. But basketball is a team game after all, no matter how hard the thick eyebrows try, the performance of the other Lakers players today is indeed cold and cold, especially Russell, who only made 1 of 9 shots from beyond the three-point line, which is so cold that it can put out fire.
The Lakers' original biggest lead was only 12 points, but in the third quarter, they were beaten back to their original shape by the Nuggets' relentless counterattack wave. Entering the fourth quarter, the Nuggets' advantage was already very obvious, and although the Lakers tried their best to chase the points, Pope on the Nuggets' side blasted 12 points, four of which were so accurate that it was doubtful to live.
Eventually, as the game entered its final moments, the Lakers didn't seem to have much room to maneuver. Jokic's final dunk not only sealed the win, but also drew a heavy end to the Lakers. And the Lakers' losing streak continues, and this is their ninth swallow defeat against the Nuggets.
After the game, fans and analysts were constantly talking, everyone wondered, what is missing from the Lakers team, is it a matter of strategy, or is it just because the Nuggets are so good? In any case, if the Lakers want to turn the situation around, they must find the hot hand and the tacit cooperation of the team at the beginning of the season.
This game is not only a sports competition, but also a game of psychology and strategy. In the next game, we will wait and see whether the Lakers will be able to adjust back. For the Nuggets, the win was not just a 1-0 in numbers, but a big boost in the team's confidence. In the next games, if the Nuggets can continue to maintain this form, their playoff journey will definitely be even more exciting.
