I didn’t feel like it was a one sided game. The Nuggets had the lead the whole game but they never got too far out of reach. LeBron even had a chance to tie it with a 3 late in the fourth. Both teams shot excellent from the field. It was a great game to watch. It had everything you’d expect. The big difference in the game was rebounds. The Lakers need to step it up on the boards. They can’t be outrebounded by nearly 20 and win.
Thought earlier that its one sided game but lakers slowly eating the lead until they make the lead of Nuggets to single digit. But they caught off guarded as the time nearly ends since if they could just sustain that energy on early part of the gane well maybe they will not get dominated by Nuggets on game 1. But for sure they learn a lot from thus so they need to be more aggressive and exert more effort on defense since provably they can take the win on game 2.

When the Lakers were attempting to reduce the lead, the game became incredibly entertaining to watch. I admired how the Lakers managed to stage a comeback from a significant deficit, displaying their relentless effort. However, they fell just short in the end. The Nuggets have already taken the lead in the series, but from my perspective, it seems like it will be a closely contested series. As long as the Nuggets can secure victories in all their home games, they have the advantage.
Everything about that game was yet another historic performance from THE JOKER!
Good thing they have an answer on offensive set created by lakers that's the reason they take this win on game one. AD perform so well this game one and for sure many want to see how Lakers could answer on game two since for sure they learn something with Nuggets especially on dying minutes. If they could just put defensive pressure on Jokic and to their shooters maybe the result would be different and flow will be in favor to them.
Actually on seeing that 3rd Quarter run on which the gap is almost sitting around 20 points ahead, i did make out some conclusion that this game is over if ever they wont be finding any ways or method on stopping
Denver but they did able to caught up and close up the gap upto 4 points and into those last minute on 4th, there are indeed clutch plays which needs to be done but its unlucky that last moment where
turnovers happen. I did see on how Lebron trying out to force that 3 point shot for possible OT but it didnt work plus having that missed Reaves pass under the basket which Lebron wasnt able to
expect that and midhandled it out and results into a turnover which if that crucial moment had able to successfuly make out a basket then we might be seeing an OT.
Well having that 6 point lead isnt really that too far off and Game 2 then for sure at least they do know on what to do or making out adjustments.
