The Denver Nuggets are encountering a different type of Lakers team in this game. LeBron James has been remarkably efficient so far as he has been torching the Denver defense by shooting 83.3% from the field for 13 points along with a box plus/minus of +13.
The Denver Nuggets offense has looked good as they are getting the wide open shot attempts, they are just having trouble knocking down their open jump shots. Not to mention, the Nuggets have been abysmal from the free throw line as they have only shot 14 for 20 from the charity stripe.
