Jamal Murray is another player as soon as April starts and its not his first year when he goes in beast month after April and during April. Coincidence ? maybe or maybe not but last night Denver really played way better than Lakers and I'm afraid this series is already over. I also saw a tired Lebron that had low energy in 2nd half and also missed some important points.
What do you think guys ? Can Lakers tie this series at 2-2 ? or Denver will make it 3-0
If the Phoenix Suns can even up a 2-0 deficit against Denver Nuggets, I have no absolute reason to believe that the Lakers can't do the same, but the for Denver Nuggets, it's gotta be case of once beaten twice shy, now they need to get one win on the road, then this series would be likely done and over with from there.
I'm confident it could occur since LeBron has experienced this scenario repeatedly. However, if you're betting on the Denver Nuggets, you're likely feeling quite positive right now since the Lakers still need to win two games to tie the series. Regarding betting odds, the Nuggets' odds are already quite low, making the Lakers' odds highly appealing.
Now that the series is headed back to Los Angeles, the major thing the Denver Nuggets needs to avoid is allowing the Lakers get to the free throw with relative ease, Lakers have more free throw attempt in the first two but the differences weren't so significant, but it's likely going to be a whole new different affair in LA, the Nuggets must ensure they attack the rim and get the at least the around the same number of free throws unlike the Warriors taking bad shots and sending the Lakers to line at almost every possession.
When it comes to free throws, the Lakers only had numerous attempts because the Warriors are relatively undersized. This allowed the Lakers to exploit the paint. However, with the Nuggets, it's not as straightforward. The Nuggets have Jokic in the post and their lineup is significantly taller compared to the Warriors.
