The series ended early
The Lakers lost to the Nuggets 105:112 at home, and the total score of the two sides also came to 0:3, and the Lakers have lost to the Nuggets in 11 consecutive games in the playoffs, I don't know if it is a record in the NBA playoffs. When they fell behind 0:2, everyone was still fantasizing that the Lakers could create a miracle comeback, because in the second game, the Lakers once led by 20 points, which showed that the Lakers had a chance to wrestle with the Nuggets, but now the Lakers have no chance, they can only fight for dignity, win one game, and pray not to be shaved by 0:4.
Let's talk about this game, back at home, the Lakers made an early effort and wanted to enter their rhythm in advance through a good start. It did work well, and the Lakers achieved an advantage of more than ten points in the first quarter. But from the second quarter, especially when Lao Zhan and thick eyebrows were not on the court, they were chased by the Nuggets, the offense could not score, the defense could not hold, but the physical fitness was okay, and they only lost six points in a single quarter, at least in the first half, they were still ahead.
But in the crucial third quarter, it was even worse than the previous one, and the last game resisted at least half a quarter, and this quarter completely entered the rhythm of the Nuggets, almost except for a few collaborations of thick eyebrows and Lao Zhan, everything else was piecemeal. On the other hand, on the Nuggets' side, it was in full bloom, with Murray's various singles and Gordon's various air cuts and secondary offensive hands, and Mr. Yoo played as he wanted, losing by 12 points in a single quarter of 34 and 22, basically laying the foundation for the victory.
Build momentum for the MVP
In the final quarter, the two sides went back and forth, basically playing according to the rhythm of the Nuggets, and the Lakers had no chance to add the score at all, and finally lost 105-112 at home. Lao Zhan and thick eyebrows have both played for more than 42 minutes, and they are really tired.
I did my best
James did his best, really worked hard, contributing 26 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists in the game. Not to mention the thick eyebrows, who scored a game-high 33 points and 15 rebounds on 14-of-23 shooting, and Rivers also played well to score a team-high 22 points. Russell really doesn't want to say it, it's a crime, a starting point guard played 24 minutes, shot 0 of 7 from the field, and only had a pitiful 2 assists, and the defensive end was useless. On the other hand, the Nuggets scored 20 points with four people, and Jokic scored a team-high 29 points.
