Game 2, Round 1 : Los Angeles Lakers #7 @ Denver Nuggets #2 (0-1)

[THE J0KER]

A 2-0 lead would be a giant step for the 2nd round!

My feeling is if we're going to win tonight (and probably put this series to rest), we need to run the Flakers out of the gym, keep them huffing well into the 4th qtr. LeBron is 39yo and AD is 31yo, even the best in-shape old guys get winded in the altitude, make them suffer.

Hopefully, they can hold serve here and maintain home court advantage. This is a "big" game.

-15 at halftime, not look good. Jokic and MPJ are 6-9 for threes but 0-14 for the rest of the team while the Lakers rocks 8-14.

Davis and Russel overperformed with one of the career-best PO 1st halves while MPJ was the only Nugget overplaying his usual numbers.

Looks like our starting backcourt is taking the night off

This is actually better than a routine win... it kills the Lakers mentally, I can imagine their locker room right now.

We can't expect Murray to be an all-star level every PO game, but today he literally has even a negative impact... until the final quarter! So from 3-16 at one point he finished the game with 9-24 including all 6 Denver points in the final minute (including the already famous buzzer-beater)!

Of course, for the history books the most remembered will be Jokic's epic 30-20-10 type of the triple-double.

What a finish and it's the talk of the NBA.

It's almost like they are coasting until they decide to win the game.
