On April 30, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs in the West G5: Nuggets home vs Lakers. Vanderbilt is officially back for this game, he has been out of action for more than two months due to injury, and he doesn't know how long he can play today. On the Nuggets side, Murray suffered a left calf strain and played with the injury. There are no changes to the starting line-ups for both teams, as follows:

The Lakers went from 0-3 to 1-3, and Dream Green said on the podcast today: "If there is one person who can turn the tables 0-3, James is the one who can turn the tide." That's right, that's what I said!" Including the Pelicans and Suns, who were just swept, none of the 153 teams in NBA history that fell behind 0-3 were able to turn the tables around.

Speaking of the game, with 9 minutes and 35 seconds left in the first quarter, Reaves was whistled for a three-point foul on Murray, Ham successfully challenged, and Cephalosporin was quite decisive today. The Nuggets made three consecutive pass errors, and the Lakers started the game 11-6 to stop the Nuggets. Pope landed on a layup and went straight back to the locker room.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets led by four points at 28-24, and Murray scored 12 points in a single quarter on 4-of-8 shooting. Why did the Nuggets only lead by 4 points with such accurate three-point points? 5 turnovers in the first quarter gave the Lakers 6 points. In the second quarter, the Nuggets continued to make mistakes, and the Lakers went 17-6 to directly lead by 7 points.

The thick eyebrows are not afraid of Jokic, and he scored 6 points in a row under the basket, and Mr. Jokic was not excited today, with 4 turnovers in one and a half quarters. In the second quarter, the Nuggets' three-point shooting percentage dropped sharply, making just 2 of their first 8 shots.

James dunked violently, Russell scored a three-pointer, and the Lakers led by eight points three minutes into the second half.

Thick eyebrows are not in good physical condition, James can only strengthen his individual offense, and the Lakers still maintain the lead. At 3:49 in the third quarter, Porter hit a three-point shot, and the Nuggets chased one point. The Lakers replaced the thick eyebrows, and he couldn't lift his arms. As soon as the thick eyebrows came off the court, the Nuggets kept breaking through and hitting the basket, and immediately overtook them. Hayes jumps at one point, and the frame is really not good!

At the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets were 81-79 leading by two points, and Jokic had six turnovers. James was almost injured in the third quarter for a layup, but he refused to go off the court to rest, playing 33 minutes and 34 seconds in the first three quarters, getting 21 + 6 + 8 + 3!

Reaves successfully defended Jokic alone, James scored against Pope, and the Lakers overtook him. Pope made just 1 of 7 shots in the first quarter and finally scored a three-pointer in the fourth quarter. Murray and Reaves faced off, Murray dunked James, 3:37 Nuggets 99-97. James' physical strength declined, Russell made two layups to help the Lakers stop the bleeding, and the game entered a white heat!
