The Lakers may have shown some of their adjustments in the second half of Game 1 against the Nuggets, but more of them are going to come before Game 2. The Lakers showed their hand in some regards by having Rui Hachimura on Nikola Jokic, a move that nearly helped them steal the game.
It was a move that seemed to catch the Nuggets off-guard, though they certainly don’t seem like a team that is worried about the fact they nearly had an all-time gaffe in the second half. The Lakers likely didn’t blow their only adjustment to Jokic halfway through the first game, so it’ll be another chess match of a series moving forward.
