On April 26, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and today also ushered in a key battle - Game3 between the Lakers and the Nuggets. The Lakers have lost two games in a row to the Nuggets, and in the last game, they were killed by Murray when they once led by 20 points, which was nothing more than a huge psychological blow to the Lakers team. In this game, the Lakers are already standing on the edge of the cliff, and if they lose again, the score will come to 3:0, so that the Lakers will have no possibility of turning over. So this game is crucial for the Lakers. It is worth mentioning that the Lakers have taken the lead in 9 of the previous 10 games against the Nuggets, but lost all of them, so what the Lakers need to do in this game is to hold on to the advantage when they take the lead.
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Lakers took the lead with multiple mistakes by the Nuggets due to Lao Zhan's help defense, like the previous game, the Lakers led by 10 points at 33:23 at the end of the first quarter, and the Nuggets began to work hard in the second quarter, although the three-point inaccurate but Murray and Gordon's mid-range and baskets helped the Nuggets only trail by 5 points at 49:53 after halftime. It's a familiar plot again, the first half was in the lead, the Lakers didn't hit three three-point shots at the beginning of the third quarter, and the Nuggets seized the opportunity to overtake the score, and then the Lakers' offense had problems, and the Nuggets pulled the score away, and finally the Lakers trailed by 6 points at 77:83 at the end of the third quarter. Due to the problems caused by physical exhaustion in the last quarter, the Lakers' disadvantage is getting bigger and bigger, and the Nuggets are getting more and more accurate, and finally the Lakers are reversed by the Nuggets 105:112 without suspense.
