Updated on April 18, 2024 | 5:22 PM
The Los Angeles Lakers will try to bounce back from a demoralizing Game 1 defeat when they host the Denver Nuggets on Thursday in a crucial matchup. The Nuggets took the series opener 122-99, leaving the Lakers with their backs against the wall.
LeBron James led the Lakers with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists in Game 1, but he received little help from his teammates. Anthony Davis struggled mightily, shooting just 2-of-12 from the field for 6 points. The Lakers also shot just 38.5% from the field as a team.
The Nuggets, meanwhile, were led by Nikola Jokic, who had 32 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists. Jamal Murray added 21 points, and Aaron Gordon chipped in 17 points.
The Lakers will need to make some major adjustments if they want to even the series in Game 2. They need to find a way to get more production from Davis, and they need to improve their shooting efficiency from the field.
