The Nuggets have beaten the Lakers eight consecutive times, but LeBron James and Darvin Ham know what they must do to defeat Denver in the playoffs.
The outline hasn’t really differed much in their past seven meetings, the four from last year’s Western Conference Finals and the three chances for revenge that the Lakers couldn’t grab. Generally, the game has been close, the Nuggets will then get into their late-game offense, and the game won’t be close anymore. Thursday, the problem-solving phase of the Lakers’ preparation began, the late-game struggles against Denver obviously a piece of that planning.
' Russell said he’s going to try to pull back from the narratives around him and the Nuggets as he prepares for the series. 'I don't even think like that. I try to think less, try to treat it like it's the first game of the season, how it was a bunch of hype when we played Denver again,” he said. 'My approach was just care less, be free, be a butterfly out there, just float and I'll find myself in a comfort zone that's been working for me lately.
