Layups, open threes or the indefensible paint touch shot by Jokic. Lakers played well but they had a cold spell and some of their support players did not play well. Not sure if they can get a Lebron and AD game like that again. They played big minutes.
Denver may be DLo cryptonite. He was bad last night.
Jokic is 4 year older than Luka right? Jokic is just a few steps ahead of Luka in having complete mastery of the game. Not a slight on Luka but jokic has mastered it.
I was really struggling to decide who I should root for watching that game. I have always disliked the Lakers from the bottom of my heart, but them somehow beating the Nuggets and then breaking down towards a possible matchup with us in the Western conference finals would help us out big time. On the other hand the Nuggets sweeping the Lakers again could lead to the end of the partnership of LeBron and AD, which can‘t come soon enough for me. But then the Nuggets would get rolling and could be too much to handle for us.
