The Lakers suffered a choosing loss in today's series G5 as they lost 106-108 to the Nuggets. The big score of the series was eliminated, which can only be said to be ill-fated and embarrassing.
In this game, Murray, Pope, Thick Eyebrows and James all struggled under the torture of injuries, and the fighting spirit of both sides can be described as unobstructed, and the game was in full swing until the last minute. However, the Lakers' loss was indeed regrettable, and some key momentary details were not handled well and could have been the key to their defeat.
In the final 1:46 of the game, the Lakers led by one point at 102-101, but Pope missed a mid-range shot, and Jokic easily grabbed a rebound and scored a layup to put the Nuggets ahead again.
Then, in the final 1:09 of the game, the Lakers still led 104-103, but Murray's mid-range shot missed, and Gordon grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Murray, who hit a crucial three-pointer.
With only eight seconds left in the game, the two sides fought to a 106-all draw. Prince reminded Hachimura to step forward to help defend Murray, but Hachimura failed to react in time, resulting in Murray hitting the winning quasi-kill. This scene is embarrassing, although Prince's reminder is timely, Hachimura's reaction is slightly sluggish, making the Lakers miss the opportunity to turn the situation around.
On the final offense, the Lakers did not choose to take a timeout and could only serve from the backcourt, which somewhat limited their last-minute offensive strategy. With 3.6 seconds left in the game, it was possible to organize another attack, but the opportunity was missed and fate changed.
Throughout the game, the Lakers may have been deficient in the details of key moments, while the Nuggets were more calm and decisive and seized every opportunity. It's a shame to lose, but as fans, we should be proud of this fierce game, because every fight is respectable. For the Lakers, this loss is also a valuable accumulation of experience, and I believe that they will be stronger and brilliant in future games!
