Meanwhile, it seems like Lebron is going to exit again with a 0-4 swept by the Nuggets. Just like the first 2 games, they starting strong but just couldn't finish strong.
Lakers even have a great performance in game 2 than in game 3. Nuggets are really dangerous, although the Lakers are one of the best but they just easily beat them. There's really a problem with the Lakers, their adjustments aren't working anymore, they badly need a good coach and fire Darvin Ham after their exit.
Last game, Russell was shooting well, this game he was 0-7, scoreless, and that really have impacted their game.
In fact, if we look at the stats, the Lakers are only 19% in 3 point area, although the Nuggets shooting FG are also low but they were able score inside.
DLo was the big difference in game 2. That's why.
And yes, they played better that night and I think Davis played well in that game too. Well, he did 33 points today but that's because he was forced to do so without any help offense from their other teammates. That's what they lack, more offensive players because AD's defense is good and other players like Austin Reaves are also playing great defense.
Actually, the Nuggets played at their worst tonight, 5/28 at the 3-point line. That's not them. 13 turnovers against the 7 of the Lakers. The big difference came from the offensive rebounds and 2nd chance points.
As I said, the Lakers played great defense but cannot convert them into a score. Well, I am glad I made a bet at halftime for the Nuggets while the Lakers are in a 4 point lead.
