Can Los Angeles rebound from its good-but-not-great Game 1 effort in Denver?
Tonight, the Los Angeles Lakers are looking to rebound from their good-but-not-great Game 1 effort against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday to steal a Game 2 win and homecourt advantage away from the reigning champs.
Can LA actually get the job done against a Nuggets team that, despite a lackluster shooting night from long range, somehow actually rallied back from a 12-point first half deficit against Los Angeles to an eventual 11-point victory ?, only 7.3% of the 449 playoff teams to trail 2-0 in a series have rallied back to win).
If anything, the biggest difference was the play of the Lakers' supporting cast. Point guard D'Angelo Russell regressed to his 2023 Western Conference Finals form, scoring 13 points on a paltry 6-of-20 shooting from the field while chipping in three rebounds, three assists, and two steals a night. Shooting guard Austin Reaves and power Rui Hachimura couldn't offer much defensive resistance, while seeming at times to be reticent to shoot.
