Game Preview
The Los Angeles Lakers will at least return to the comfort of their home fans when they take on the defending champion Denver Nuggets on Thursday in Game 3 of a Western Conference first-round playoff series.
The Nuggets showed their championship pedigree at home in Game 2 to take a 2-0 series lead on Monday, when they overcame a 20-point, second-half deficit and an 11-point hole with less than 11 minutes remaining in regulation.
Denver pulled within 91-87 with 3:34 left, inched ever so close down the stretch and won it on a Jamal Murray fadeaway jumper over Anthony Davis at the buzzer. It gave the Nuggets their only lead of the second half as they walked away with a 101-99 victory.
