It's a sweep! I thought this was going to overtime but Gordon had other plans hehe. He also redeemd himself with that block after missing crucial free throws.

What do you think of LA's final play? I was thinking the coach should give it to AD to tie the game during the last timeout.

The last quarter was really a struggle and you can see how hard for them to defend and also make some baskets against the Denver Nuggets. the Lakers are tired and cannot shoot well in the 4th quarter and they are terribly missing despite their great performance in the first half. Well! that's just the way it is, clearly the Nuggets are way too much for them this year and what we want to see next time is the Miami Heat vs the Denver Nuggets in the NBA finals this year. I wonder how far will Butler's luck bring him this season because we all know that they came from the play-in tournament and beat every team to soon reach the NBA finals when they beat the Celtics tomorrow.

The Nuggets are the better team, I think it just shows how they really are the number 1 team in the West as they finished the job here, sweeping the Lakers. And even if they are down like 15 points at the end of the first half, they didn't panic or what, because they know the caliber of the team.

Thus, when they started to make a comeback in the 3rd with Jokic and Murray taking over you can sense that the Lakers are going to lose this game already. So congrats, and I think it could have been a blessing for Jokic to not win the MVP 3rd straight year, but at least now they are going to the finals.

The Nuggets team has definitely been being built over a period of several years and they did it by developing young players like MCP while picking up guys with a lot of potential like Gordon. I've been saying for years now that they were going to be the next up team. Great to see it play out. Honestly, I don't know how they managed to get Gordon without giving up much, but to me that was the piece that put them over the top. The Lakers are still trying to figure out who to play with their team slapped together at the end of the season. I think LeBron forgot what it takes to build a championship team.
