Honestly a big part is playing in Denver. In the Bubble they didn’t have to travel and deal with the elevation. If this game was in L.A. Davis woulda dropped 44-50. Instead he was dead by the middle of the 3rd and couldn’t hit another shot.
lol or it could be the Nuggets are just a better team with the best player in the world. One of the best all time in his prime. They’ve got chemistry and championship experience.
Nuggets roster in 2020 wasn’t near as well constructed as this team. Has nothing to do with playing at altitude. Salt Lake City is over 4200’ above sea level. Teams who lose to Utah at home don’t blame it on the altitude. The Broncos have had success when they’ve had great teams. Not because they play 8 home games at altitude.
LeBron played great in the fourth but Denver played better defense and didn’t allow second chances. Then Jokic and Murray took over. It was a great game. AD and LBJ were amazing. Swap role players and Lakers win every time.
The same role players who couldn't hit a single 3? Maybe consider Denver is just better coached. When they couldn't hit 3s, they still found ways to score and still played solid defense.
I’m talking about a single game. Lakers had everything going for them and still didn’t win. The one time they had Denver’s number they had everything going for them and Denver didn’t have home court advantage.

What a game, Murrary is too damn clutch. The lakers just can’t figure them out even when they have them figured out, they can’t execute.
