With the Denver Nuggets claiming victory in Game 2 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers, led by LeBron James, are now trailing the Denver Nuggets by a score of 2-0.
As the clock ticked away, Jamal Murray made a crazy shot that ended up being the game-winning shot.
In spite of the fact that he was defeated, LeBron James maintained an outstanding performance. He managed to score 26 points on 9/19 shooting, in addition to eight rebounds and 12 assists.
The Lakers had a dominating 20-point lead in the third quarter, but that all came crumbling down as the Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, roared back to seal the victory. The Lakers were able to secure the victory. Going into Game 3, Los Angeles is now in a scenario where they absolutely must win.
While the game was still going on, LeBron James sat down for his post-game interview. It came as a surprise to hear his reaction to a query about blowing their enormous advantage. 20-point leads in this league are hardly safe, especially when they are against the team that is currently defending their title…”We had our opportunities.”
On Thursday, April 25, at 10:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, NBA Game 3 between the Nuggets and the Lakers will take place.
