Lakers’ foundational weakness returns in heartbreaking Game 3 loss

The Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. After dropping two winnable games in Denver, Los Angeles absolutely had to win this game to have any chance of winning the series.

Instead, the Lakers dropped another game that could have been swung the other way if the team simply executed. Now, the Lake Show is down 3-0 against the best team in the league. Los Angeles would need to pull off something that has never been done in NBA history to win this series.
