On April 26, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. The Lakers will host the Nuggets today, the G3 of the first series between the two sides, and the Lakers are currently trailing the Nuggets 0-2 on aggregate.
This game is the Lakers' first home game in this year's playoffs and the Lakers' first home game in the past 16 days. Coupled with the fact that the Lakers are now behind by a big score, the Lakers attach great importance to today from top to bottom, and they posted a high-burning video of the team this season, and wrote: "Our people, our homes, GAME3, we need everyone!"
For this game, the well-known media ESPN gave a prediction: the Nuggets have a 55.6% probability of winning, and the Lakers 44.4%. It should be noted that in the predictions of the previous two games, the probability of the Lakers winning was also less than 50%, and the Lakers lost the game in the end.
The NBA officially announced the referee lineup for this game:
Referee Mark Davis (2-2 for Lakers and 4-2 for Nuggets this season)
Second Referee Josh Tiven (4-1 for Lakers this season)
Third Referee Mark Lindsay (3-3 for Lakers this season)
Ahead of this game, the Lakers also got a piece of good news. According to previous reports, coach Ham and manager Davis have different views on the team in the interview. According to Ramona Shelburne on the show, the two have reunited.
Ramona Shelburne said, "I'm telling you, Hamm talked to Davis privately. There is no enmity between them. Hamm just said, 'I love you, let's get back together.'" (I love ya, and let's get it back together.)'" I think what he said to the public was about being accountable to his coaching staff, not about making a big deal out of it. The two of them, whatever they needed to say to each other behind the scenes, had already spoken. I think they've all turned the page and looked forward. ”
Can the Lakers get a win today?
