It is nobody’s fault that the Lakers lost. Denver are just better than the Lakers flat out. A far far superior team. Lakers had the lead because their shots were falling and Nuggets’ weren’t. That has to normalise at some point which it did. LeBron played excellent, AD played excellent. DLo played beyond excellent! Hams adjustments had the Nuggets on edge for 3 quarters. The Lakers lost because the Nuggets are just flat out far superior. Nobody to blame here.
