The Lakers were 6-0 in home playoff games prior to tonight. They are now 6-1, and — after losing to the Denver Nuggets, 119-108 — are now one loss away from the end of their season.
The defeat puts the Lakers in a 0-3 hole a deficit no team has ever come back from to win a series. Teams with a 3-0 lead are 149-0 in playoff series in NBA history.
Jamal Murray and the Nuggets picked up where they left off in Game 2 as Murray started the game 5-5 from the field and clearly hunted for a matchup with D’Angelo Russell every chance he got.
