LAKERS LOST GAME BECAUSE OF THREES
Denver was +21 in 3PM, +10 in PIP, and -12 in FTM for a +19 point advantage over LA.
Russell & Reaves laid huge egg, shooting 3/15.
If they had made just 4 more 3's, Lakers could have won game.
Hit our 3's & we will win Game 2.
LAKERS IN 6!

LAKERS CAN STILL WIN SERIES IN 6!

Don’t go lumping Reaves & Russell together. Reaves shot at a respectable clip (5/9 & 2/6 from 3) and at least helped contain Murray. DLo did a repeat of his no show again and put up a buncha bricks on 20 shots! Hard for the rest of the crew to get going where your one-dimensional guard becomes no dimensional.
Reaves did not have a good game. His -12 was worst on team. He lacked aggressiveness. Both disappointed greatly but it’s just one game and nothing changes until somebody wins on the road.
Reaves wasn’t getting the ball enough to get going while snitchy put up brick after brick. It’s always something against this team, some lame excuse and coach blaming. Bottom line is Jokic outplays the Lakers top two by a healthy margin each time. It’s 10 in a row now, not some outlier. They may eek out a win here or there should Denver lose focus, but the Lakers are just outmatched. Denver has their number and wants to rub it in the washed King’s face every time. I didn’t see anything last night to make this year feel any different than last.
