The Denver Nuggets find themselves in a familiar position, down three games to one and facing elimination. This time it’s the Los Angeles Lakers who are trying to close them out, something the Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz were unable to do. Outside of game one, the Nuggets have been right there in every contest, but in games two and four they were unable to keep the Lakers off the offensive glass and it ultimately spelled doom for the blue and gold. they’ll have to clean it up tonight to stay alive.
