4月30日NBA季后赛，洛杉矶湖人队客场106-108不敌丹佛掘金队。 This is the fifth meeting between the two sides, the Lakers' life-and-death battle, the Lakers tried their best to win a city in the last game, and they also successfully avoided the embarrassing situation of being swept again, and their morale rebounded slightly. Although the Lakers are still reluctant to give up, this round of the series is almost final, even if James has an irreproducible reversal experience, but now Lao Zhan is no longer the Thanos Zhan, and his physical strength is obviously unable to keep up with the Nuggets at the end of the game, which is an irreparable defect. Moreover, the Nuggets' front line is too strong, the Lakers can hardly limit Porter Jr., 2.08 meters tall, that inexplicable dry pull, their small guard has no move at all in the face of this tall forward, this Nuggets return to the home court, maybe this is the Lakers' final stop. Let's take a look at the starters of both sides.
Both starters:
Lakers: James, Davis, Russell, Reaves, Hachimura
Nuggets: Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, Jokic, Pope, Jamal Murray
比赛开始，双方打得非常谨慎，贾马尔-默里开局里突外投连得5分，又造三分犯规，湖人选择挑战并成功。
调整回来后湖人率先发难，浓眉正面大帽波普，后反击上篮打出11-6打停掘金，开局节奏非常紧，攻防两端都拉满了。
但好景不长，随后湖人进入迷离状态，八村垒连续四次出手都不中，目前仅5中1得到3分，掘金顺势反超比分。
掘金越打越热，阿龙-戈登空切接球直接起飞，迎着拉塞尔完成双手重扣，可以说是毫无压力，拉塞尔那一跳都多余了，连人家手都摸不到。
The two sides went back and forth, and at the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets led the Lakers 28-24.
比赛进入第二节，湖人状态回暖，詹姆斯低位翻身跳投出手命中，目前3中2得到4分，今天有点慢热。
湖人火力全开！詹姆斯强突顶开防守飞身上篮打成2+1，目前已得到7分，就是硬吃。
Then the game went into a scorching state, and at halftime, the Lakers led the Nuggets 53-50.
After returning from the break, the Nuggets gradually gained the upper hand, as in the previous three games, scoring 31 points in a single quarter.
But the Lakers also clung to the score and didn't let the score pull away, trailing 79-81 into the final quarter.
In the final quarter, the two sides fought steadily, and the score never opened. At the decisive moment, the game became a matchup between James and Murray, and as James broke through and made two free throws, the two teams returned to the same running line at 106.
In the last four seconds, Murray mounted a horse and shot an arrow to seal his throat, contributing to the second stunner of the series.
In the end, the Nuggets narrowly defeated the Lakers 108-106 and advanced to the second round with a total score of 4-1.
