OUT: Mo. Still wishing Lakers had some more decent bigs to help out defending
Den's shooters/RBing. Lakers are in BIG trouble with having to now win 4
straight games. Only 4 guys in DFs with LBJ/AD getting the DDs. Lakers are in
BIG trouble having to win 4 straight to progress. Lakers out-shot 45/31% vs
50/42% and had 12 TOs vs 6 for DEN. This was the time for players to show up
and they didn't. 108-119 Lakers lose by 11 and are in trouble.
FBP: 6 vs 8; PIP: 52 vs 38; POT: 8 vs 13; SCP: 18 vs 9.

Quarterly Laker scoring leaders/notes (pluses OR/ST/BL; minuses TO/PF/oOR):
Q1 - Slow start for LA with terrible shooting, mediocre D - attack, attack -
shooting 30% vs 60%; pluses 2/0/1; minuses 2/40. Davis 9, James 5.
20-32=-12Q.
Q2 - Lakers finally start attacking, but 5 TOs have them -3 at HT - I'm totally
perplexed that DEN has no ORBs yet - maybe because they weren't missing any
shots ;) - shooting 71% vs 42%; pluses 2/0/0; minuses 5/4/0. Reaves 15,
Davis 6, Walker 5, James/Hachimura 4. 35-26=+9Q.

pluses 3/1/1; minuses 4/2/3. Davis 11, James 7, Reaves 5.
27-26=+1Q (82-84=-2).
Q4 - Lakers get a lead but couldn't hold it and take the L - shooting 41% vs
60%; pluses 3/2/0; minuses 1/8/2. Hachimura 9, James 7. 26-35=-9Q.
H1 - Lakers with a good comeback late in Q2 to almost get even - let's hope for
even more in H2 - shooting 48% vs 50%; pluses 5/0/1; minuses 7/8/0.
Davis/Reaves 15, James 9, Walker 8. 55-58=-3H.

FG - Lakers are in big trouble with having to now win 4 straight - shooting 45%
vs 50%; pluses 11/3/2; minuses 12/18/5. 108-119=-11G.

Recap from https://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=401547683
The Nuggets go on a big run to take a double-digit lead over the Lakers
in the fourth quarter.
LOS ANGELES -- Jamal Murray scored 37 points, Nikola Jokic added 24
points and eight assists, and the Denver Nuggets rolled to a 3-0 lead
in the Western Conference finals with a 119-108 victory over the Los
Angeles Lakers on Saturday night.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 12 of his 17 points in the second half
against his former team for the top-seeded Nuggets, who have never been
this close to the NBA Finals in 47 years in the league.
Denver blew a big early lead in Game 3, but made a decisive 13-0 run in
the fourth quarter to snap the Lakers' nine-game home winning streak
since March 26, including seven straight victories since the regular
season ended.
No team has rallied from a 3-0 playoff series deficit in NBA history.
Game 4 is Monday night in Los Angeles.
Anthony Davis had 28 points and 18 rebounds for the seventh-seeded
Lakers, who hadn't lost three straight games since early February. Los
Angeles' prolonged, desperate surge ever since the trade deadline has
finally run out of steam against the powerhouse Nuggets, who have won
five consecutive playoff games.
LeBron James had 23 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds for Los
Angeles, hitting three 3-pointers after starting the series 0 for 13
from distance. Austin Reaves added 23 points and seven rebounds, but
Rui Hachimura was the only other Lakers scorer to crack double figures
with 13 points.
Jokic's streak of four consecutive triple-doubles ended in a fairly
quiet game for the two-time MVP. But Murray scored 17 points in a
dynamic first quarter following his 23-point fourth quarter two nights
ago, and he had 30 points by halftime of Game 3.
Bruce Brown scored 15 points and hit a key 3-pointer down the stretch
for the Nuggets before Jokic all but iced it on a 3-pointer with 3:17
to play.

shooting 30% vs 60%; pluses 2/0/1; minuses 2/40. Davis 9, James 5.
20-32=-12Q.
Q2 - Lakers finally start attacking, but 5 TOs have them -3 at HT - I'm totally
perplexed that DEN has no ORBs yet - maybe because they weren't missing any
shots ;) - shooting 71% vs 42%; pluses 2/0/0; minuses 5/4/0. Reaves 15,
Davis 6, Walker 5, James/Hachimura 4. 35-26=+9Q.

pluses 3/1/1; minuses 4/2/3. Davis 11, James 7, Reaves 5.
27-26=+1Q (82-84=-2).
Q4 - Lakers get a lead but couldn't hold it and take the L - shooting 41% vs
60%; pluses 3/2/0; minuses 1/8/2. Hachimura 9, James 7. 26-35=-9Q.
H1 - Lakers with a good comeback late in Q2 to almost get even - let's hope for
even more in H2 - shooting 48% vs 50%; pluses 5/0/1; minuses 7/8/0.
Davis/Reaves 15, James 9, Walker 8. 55-58=-3H.

shooting 43% vs 50%; pluses 6/3/1; minuses 5/10/5. 53-61=-8H.
FG - Lakers are in big trouble with having to now win 4 straight - shooting 45%
vs 50%; pluses 11/3/2; minuses 12/18/5. 108-119=-11G.

Recap from https://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=401547683
The Nuggets go on a big run to take a double-digit lead over the Lakers
in the fourth quarter.
LOS ANGELES -- Jamal Murray scored 37 points, Nikola Jokic added 24
points and eight assists, and the Denver Nuggets rolled to a 3-0 lead
in the Western Conference finals with a 119-108 victory over the Los
Angeles Lakers on Saturday night.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 12 of his 17 points in the second half
against his former team for the top-seeded Nuggets, who have never been
this close to the NBA Finals in 47 years in the league.
Denver blew a big early lead in Game 3, but made a decisive 13-0 run in
the fourth quarter to snap the Lakers' nine-game home winning streak
since March 26, including seven straight victories since the regular
season ended.
No team has rallied from a 3-0 playoff series deficit in NBA history.
Game 4 is Monday night in Los Angeles.
Anthony Davis had 28 points and 18 rebounds for the seventh-seeded
Lakers, who hadn't lost three straight games since early February. Los
Angeles' prolonged, desperate surge ever since the trade deadline has
finally run out of steam against the powerhouse Nuggets, who have won
five consecutive playoff games.
LeBron James had 23 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds for Los
Angeles, hitting three 3-pointers after starting the series 0 for 13
from distance. Austin Reaves added 23 points and seven rebounds, but
Rui Hachimura was the only other Lakers scorer to crack double figures
with 13 points.
Jokic's streak of four consecutive triple-doubles ended in a fairly
quiet game for the two-time MVP. But Murray scored 17 points in a
dynamic first quarter following his 23-point fourth quarter two nights
ago, and he had 30 points by halftime of Game 3.
Bruce Brown scored 15 points and hit a key 3-pointer down the stretch
for the Nuggets before Jokic all but iced it on a 3-pointer with 3:17
to play.
