LeBron might be hurt. Can't see the Lakers winning with only a day in between each game. If he's hurt, I mean. Able to play? I agree.
Jokic's worst game of the playoffs in a while. And even though it's been his worst game, he still outscored Hachimura and Reaves, outscored and outassisted LeBron and outrebounded AD. All while getting another triple-double.
Thought that LeBron's late 3's, all missed, were on target with good form, But that little run of misses cost them. Lebron also looked extremely gassed at the end. That said, Jokic looked gassed early. Maybe altitude. Or just extra exertion. So while Denver once again executed, the separation wasn't crazy. Losing is losing though, and no margin for another.
Lakers all looked like the altitude was affecting them. Meanwhile Murray was out there the entire 4th quarter draining three after three. That's the Denver HC advantage for you--I live up here and every time the in-laws are in town it takes a lot out of them.
archetype @larsv8 Watch the anti-Sengun argument shift from "you cannot win in the playoffs with a prodding center playmaker who is not a "lob threat" or rim protector to "but Jokic is one of a kind".
