The 2022-23 Los Angeles Lakers had a hell of a run, but it all-but-officially ended with their 119-108 loss to the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals on Saturday night.
149 have “tried” — to varying degrees — but no team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in the NBA playoffs. LeBron James has pulled off the seemingly impossible before, but Denver just appears to be the better team here, and the Lakers look cooked.
For those of you with the appetite for more Lakers content even on a night like tonight, first of all, I and this whole blog appreciate you.
