The Lakers lost 4-1 to the Nuggets, and LeBron James left the arena in frustration, saying in an interview: "I'm not thinking about coming back here next season, I just want to spend time with my family and prepare for the Olympics." "LeBron was disappointed in Ham, disappointed in the Lakers, disappointed in the Buss family, and obviously everybody knew he was doing his best.
The Lakers were actually pressed by the Nuggets throughout the series, even if the Lakers were 20 points ahead as long as the Nuggets made a force to reverse, but the Lakers were from behind to overtake, entering the final stalemate, Murray's quasi-lore made the Lakers lose, and the most critical part was that there was no pause.
4 seconds before the end of the game, Murray threw a quasi-kill, if the Lakers still have a timeout, then the Lakers have a chance to kill/tie, but because Ham used two times too early in this game, the timeout was used up.
He replied after the game: "AD was injured and the round was unfortunate, where I had to call a timeout, waste a timeout, and a challenge and so on. The key to our loss tonight was also free throws, protecting the backcourt rebounds, etc.
In the opening two minutes, Ham challenged Reaves for a foul on Murray, which was Hamm's third challenge in the series.
With 39 seconds left in the final quarter, Jokic's breakthrough was pressed by thick eyebrows, the referee blew for a foul, and Ham challenged successfully, but this was the last timeout for the Lakers, and the challenge was successful and not returned, because this was the second challenge.
Kenny Smith said after the game: "Not a timeout hurt the Lakers there. Lakers fans have been begging Darvin Ham to use the timeout all season, and he did, but that killed them. (He thinks Lakers fans are harmful)
However, the dismissal of Ham is still on the number one hot search in the United States, and fans still feel that the biggest problem comes from Hamm.
