“Nuggets Soar Past Lakers to Reach Brink of NBA Finals History”

Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic left one step from the precipice to the Lakers and instead placed the Nuggets just one win away from reaching the first NBA Finals in its history.

The stellar duo of Denver alternated to boost his team in this crucial victory in Los Angeles against some Lakers until today undefeated on their court in the qualifiers. Murray dazzled with 30 points in the first half but reduced his performance after the break to finish with 37 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists; while Jokic only scored 9 points in the first three periods, with many foul problems, but he shone in the last one with 15 points to finish with 24 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (17 points), Bruce Brown (15 points) and Michael Porter Jr. (14 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists) were also essential in a tremendously balanced Nuggets team with bomb-proof nerves. Anthony Davis (28 points and 18 rebounds), LeBron James (23 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists) and Austin Reaves (23 points and 7 rebounds) led some Lakers who suffered from triples (10 of 32 for the locals, 17 of 41 for visitors) and in which D’Angelo Russell He had a performance to forget (3 points with 1 of 8 shooting).

Those in purple and gold must win the fourth game at home to keep alive the chimerical dream of a comeback (149-0 historic in the NBA in the series with 3-0). Among the celebrities such as Jack Nicholson or Denzel Washington who were seen in the stands, the Spanish stood out Pau Gasol, which received a standing ovation from the Los Angeles fans.
