@BleacherReport@sportsbots.xyz help side defense is such an underrated facet of basketball & the #Lakers failed miserably in that department on this play..just watch the left side as Murray comes around the screen
defense isn't a spectator sport..u don't watch..u communicate & engage
AND THAT WILL DO IT!!!!!!!
NUGGETS WINS A CLOSE ONE, ADVANCES TO THE NEXT ROUND!!!!!!!!
(And Lakers get eliminated………… again…………)

History is about to repeat itself as the Lakers are one loss away from getting LeSwept once again as the @nuggets take Game 3 in LA 112-105.
Wow! Murray gets the buzzer beater over AD for the win! 101-99
Me: flashback to the Jokic buzzer beater against the Dubs earlier this year. 😅
What a game this has been! It looked like the Lakers were going to win this. But nope. Nuggets fought back. They're up 2-0 in the series. #NBAplayoffs #LALvsDEN
Buzzer...beater. The defending champions @nuggets extend their lead and survive Game 2 of their series as they beat the Lakers in a buzzer-beater 101-99.
Another circus-like shot for LeBron James! Falling away and making it. And-1. The Lakers have been impressive in this game. #NBAplayoffs #LALvsDEN
And that concludes the quadruple header of NBA playoff action as the defending champions @nuggets take Game 1 of the series. Beating the Lakers at home 114-101.

All game ratings: https://wikihoops.com/games/2023-05-18/
Austin Reaves - 22 pts
Rui Hachimura - 21 pts
D'Angelo Russell - 10 pts
& they combined for 11 assists
huge damaging blow to the LeBron is surrounded by "janitors & plumbers" crowd
please keep them in your thoughts & prayers as they navigate these trying times
for those counting at home, that's now 2 times in 2 #WesternConferenceFinals games in which LeBron has been stripped in the final minute
we continue to see things we've never seen before..please don't take this for granted
