On April 26, Beijing time, NBA playoffs: Lakers home vs Nuggets. Wood, who was originally scheduled to return to G3, failed to return, and Van der Biao also canceled his comeback, and the two continued to be sidelined. "We've proven what we're capable of, but sometimes we don't know what to do on both ends of the floor!" Hamm responded: he's a little frustrated.

There are no changes to the starting lineups for both teams today, just like the first two games of the series. Nuggets starters: Murray, Pope, Porter Jr., Gordon, Jokic. Lakers starters: Russell, Reaves, Hachimura, James, thick eyebrows. It was the first time in James' career that he was down 2-0 in the first round of the playoffs.

Murray averaged 24.8 points per game in his playoff career, 7.3 more points than he averaged in the regular season (17.5), the most in NBA history. Speaking of today's game, the Lakers started with a high defensive intensity, and the Nuggets made 2 consecutive pass errors. The Lakers used the offensive and defensive transitions to blast out a wave of 8-0 in 2 minutes, directly stopping the Nuggets.

Thick eyebrows continued to kill under the basket, and with 7:51 left in the first quarter, Jokic picked up his second foul. Ma Long did not replace Teacher Yue, let him go to defend Hachimura, and let Gordon go to top the thick eyebrows. At 2 minutes and 48 seconds in the first quarter, Porter Jr. also committed 2 fouls, and the Nuggets were in trouble. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 10 points at 33-23, and the thick eyebrows scored 12 points and 4 boards in a single quarter!

In the second quarter, Russell made consecutive mistakes, and the Lakers made more mistakes, and the Nuggets chased four points in the final three minutes. The Nuggets offered a joint defense, and Malone's change of formation protected the 2 offenders. The Lakers made 1 of 11 three-pointers in the half, and the iron was out of the sky!

The Lakers defense is also good, Vincent has made a meritorious service, and death has haunted Murray. The Nuggets shot 2-of-15 from three-point range in the first half and shot 13.3 percent from three-point range, slightly higher than the Lakers (9.1 percent).

The Lakers played half a quarter, and the team only scored 8 points and had 4 turnovers! The Nuggets went 20-8 and directly overtook by 8 points.

Thick eyebrows continued to kill the basket, Mr. Yoo didn't dare to move, and the Lakers narrowed the gap a little.

Even Reggie made a three-point shot, and in the last 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the third quarter, the Nuggets once stretched to 12 points. At the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets led by eight points at 83-75.

In the last six minutes of the quarter, James hit a three-point shot, and the Lakers still trailed by eight points at 89-97. Russell hit a three-pointer, and the Lakers home fans began to boo him. Jokic didn't have much individual offense in this game, but fortunately, Gordon and Porter Jr. broke out!

With 12 points trailing in the final three minutes, time is running out for the Lakers. Jokic made it 2+1 against the thick eyebrows and killed the game. Reaves' three-point shot came too late, and the Nuggets defeated the Lakers 112-105 and got the match point with a total score of 3-0! In NBA history, 151 teams that fell behind 0-3 were all out!
