Through two games, we’ve seen two very different outcomes. The Denver Nuggets were beaten badly during Game 1 with a massive free-throw discrepancy, and they lost Game 2 when Los Angeles Lakers’ forward Anthony Davis nailed a 26-foot 3-point shot as time was expiring.
Denver was able to hang with them for the entire game, but they just weren’t quite able to put it away. In Game 3, they have to come away with a win. They’ve come back from two 3-1 deficits in this playoffs, but trying to come back from 3-0 would be a completely different animal.
