7:23 1Q | Lakers 12-12 Nuggets: Gary Harris ties it with a three-point shot.
7:54 1Q | Lakers 10-9 Nuggets: We have a strip between Davis and Murray: all of the Lakers are from La Ceja, 6 of 9 from Denver from the Canadian.

11:13 1Q | Lakers 0-2 Nuggets: Jokic takes AD to the painting and scores on him with everything and a monumental milestone not whistled by the referees.
12:00 1Q | Lakers 0-0 Nuggets: Ball in the air and the game starts. Denver seeks to tie the series and avoid falling, for the third consecutive series, at a 1-3 hole.
Let’s quickly go to the odds for this meeting. Los Angeles Lakers are 6-point favorites, with the total points at 214.5, half a point below the opening odds. So far, the scores have been 240, 208 and 220.
The Nuggets go with the usual lineup: Jamal Murray, Gary Harris, Jerami Grant, Paul Millsap, and Nikola Jokic.
Hey, hey, hey, the Lakers change their lineup for the first time in this series. JaVale McGee goes to the bench, and probably won’t even play today, and ‘Superman’ starts Dwight Howard as LA pvot The other four are the usual ones: Anthony Davis, LeBron James, Kentativous Caldwell-Pope, and Danny Green.
Frank vogel He threw dynamite into the bonfire ahead of this key Western Finals game, saying he believes the referees are not calling LeBron fouls.
“We are dealing with this issue of fouls through the appropriate channels with the league. To say of LeBron that in this series he has continued to enter the basket aggressively, as always. Leave it at that,” said the Lakers coach.
Is your complaint substantiated? The Nuggets have gone more to the line than the Lakers (90-78), but LA had 25 of those free throws in the second quarter of Game 1 alone.
Affect this message? Will LeBron get even more star treatment tonight? We’ll see, but Denver has to be careful not to fall victim to whistles who want to test this point early.
Lakers dominated the first game of the series, but the other two could be for anyone, with Denver staying close to the comeback at 2 and the Lakers about to do something historic in the fourth quarter of the third.

The Los Angeles Lakers They are looking to strike a withering blow in their quest to reach the NBA Finals for the first time in a decade. The Los Angeles team comes with a 2-1 advantage in the series against the Denver Nuggets, which they revived by winning the third of the Western Final.
Denver recovered from the blow that Anthony Davis triple that ‘stole’ Game 2, but they showed their best version so far in the first three periods, winning by up to 20, before complicating life and asking for the time.
Now, the Nuggets are looking to tie the series because they have already defied history in these bubble playoffs. They rallied 1-3 deficits against Utah and the ClippersBut now they face the best team in the West in the regular season and it has two of the best players in the league in LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
The game starts warm from before, since Lakers coach Frank Vogel claimed that LeBron had not been fouled many times, perhaps forgetting that the Lakers fired 25 free throws in the second quarter of the first in the series, getting all of Denver’s starters into foul trouble.
But hey, we are one hour away from the start of the fourth of the series. Is it tied or does the Lakers stay one game away from their first finals since 2010? We live it together in BRAND Claro.
