The Los Angeles Lakers around the stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis are threatened after their third defeat in the NBA playoffs. The NBA record champion suffered the first home loss of the playoff season on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets with 108:119. The Lakers are now 3-0 down in the best-of-seven series. They could therefore be eliminated as early as Tuesday evening in the fourth final game of the Western Conference.
To advance, the Lakers need four straight wins. In NBA playoff history, no team has ever done that after trailing 3-0. After a decent start from the Lakers, the Nuggets pulled away to 24-10 in the first quarter and controlled the game for the rest of the first half. Nuggets leader Nikola Jokic didn’t even make a particularly flashy play. The Serb ended the encounter with 24 points in the final quarter solely on the basis of his 15 points. But because Jamal Murray had another strong evening with 37 points and a total of five Nuggets pros scored double digits, it was enough for the best main round team from the West to win. Too many turnovers The Lakers worked their way back several times and also took the lead three times in the last quarter. But due to too many ball losses and missed chances, any lead was lost. The 94:93 just eight minutes before the end was the last lead, after which the Nuggets pulled away again with a 13:0 run. The Lakers’ top pitcher was Davis with 28 points, while Austin Reaves and James each had 23.
