The Los Angeles Lakers find themselves down 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals against the Denver Nuggets, the first time they’ve been down in a series all postseason.
Los Angeles needed just six games to put away the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors, but it’s going to have a tougher time with the top-seeded Nuggets.
Still, the Lakers fought tough on the road, losing by just five in Game 2 after leading for a good chunk of the game. A late flurry from beyond the arc sparked a massive Denver run in the fourth quarter, led by Jamal Murray’s 23 fourth quarter points.
