Los Angeles Lakers Team News
Unlike the first match where the Lakers were in a big deficit throughout the entire match, in G2 the Lakers were a more specific team and were in the lead throughout most of the match. However, they did not withstand the Nuggets’ rush in 4/4, which was initiated by Murray who turned the match around himself and led Denver to victory.
Until that last quarter, the Lakers played great, Lebron led the team in terms of points, but he also created for his shooters. In the end, he was one rebound short of a triple-double. The difference for the Lakers in this match was made by Reaves and Hachimura, who scored 22 and 21 points, respectively. The Lakers lacked the offensive production of Davis, who had poor percentages but was again dominant defensively.
The Lakers are undefeated at home this season in the playoffs and will try to continue that streak, and in both matches, even though they were defeated, they showed that they can handle the Nuggets.
Denver Nuggets Team News
In the second match, Denver was in a subordinate position, but thanks to Murray, it achieved a great turnaround and victory, which allows them to travel to Los Angeles relieved. The first match was dominated by Nikola Jokic, who had a triple-double in G2, but his scoring and offensive production was not as pronounced as in the previous playoff matches. The Nuggets struggled a lot and were behind, but Jamal Murray appeared in 4/4 and scored 23 points in the last quarter, while the entire Lakers team scored 24 points. Murray reminded me of that Murray from the “Orlando bubble” and how he looked before the severe ACL injury. He played the game of the season and led his team to victory.
In G3, the Nuggets will have to show a lot more defensively, because if it wasn’t for Murray in G2, it would be difficult to achieve a turnaround. After all, the Lakers were much stronger and more specific throughout the match.
