In the first round of the NBA playoffs in the Western Conference G3, the Lakers hosted the Nuggets, and in the end, the Nuggets defeated the Lakers 112-105, and the series scored 3-0 to get the match point. And the Lakers have lost 11 consecutive games against the Nuggets, and the last time they won was in 2022, which is really miserable. In addition, James suffered a seven-game losing streak in the playoffs (all of which were lost to the Nuggets) and continued to break career records. Thick eyebrows scored a game-high 33 points and 15 boards in 14 of 23 in this game, and the team still lost, which was really helpless.
In the first two games, the Nuggets first won G1, and then completed a 20-point reversal + stunner, winning G2, leading 2-0 in the series, and the Lakers seem to be getting closer and closer to being out. Judging from the first two games, the Lakers' thick eyebrows and James played quite well, especially the thick eyebrows, which played very well, but the Lakers had almost nothing to do about Jokic's defense.
In addition, in G2, when the Nuggets were behind most of the time, they relied on Murray, who had not felt good before, to complete the stunner, and gave the Lakers a heavy blow. It should be said that the Lakers have reached the edge of the cliff!
In the first quarter, the Lakers quickly got into the groove, playing an 8-0 start, and then stretched the difference to double digits, and the Lakers led the Nuggets by 10 points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Nuggets still narrowed the gap slightly, and after halftime, the Lakers only led by 4 points.
In the third quarter, the Lakers' defense of Gordon was useless, coupled with the play of Jokic, Murray and others, the Nuggets won by 12 points in a single quarter 34-22, and after three quarters, the Nuggets overtook by 8 points. Entering the fourth quarter, the Nuggets also maintained a 10-point advantage for a long time, and still defeated the Lakers.
