Thinking more about the series, you could argue it was Michael Porter Jr. who ultimately did in the Lakers. AD and LeBron essentially matched the production from Jokic and Murray, but the Lakers had no one to counter MPJ’s numbers as a 3rd guy, or even just credibly guard him. AK – 12:06 PM
The Ringer @ringernba
The Lakers need to figure out whether going all-in around LeBron gives them a realistic chance at winning a title or whether they’re better off on focusing on landing the next star.

As LeBron James faces a pivotal decision about his future, the Lakers must also consider theirs. Should they really mortgage everything again for LeBron, who will turn 40 in December? New on @ringer: theringer.com/nba/2024/4/30/… – 11:45 AM

Tony Mejia @MejiaDinero
Tough for the Lakers to show all that fight and ultimately fall. Free-throw shooting played a huge role. Austin Reaves & Spencer Dinwiddie rarely missed and faltered on consecutive attempts each. Bron & AD missed some biggies. Needed perfection on the road. Simple as that. – 12:42 AM

If the Nuggets win the title this season, LeBron will have been beaten by the eventual champion nine times in his career.

Jamal Murray is the fourth player in the play-by-play era (since 1997) with multiple go-ahead shots in the final 5 seconds of a game in the same postseason, per @Stathead.

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
LeBron James tied the game at 106-106 with two free-throws. The Nuggets went through Murray for the game-winning possession and the Lakers didn’t have a timeout to advance the ball.

There’s that zoom action for LeBron the Nuggets haven’t had an answer for. I’d run that every single time until they stop it. – 12:04 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
A timely rally from the Lakers after Denver took their biggest lead tonight came courtesy of 1 of 2 Davis FT’s, LeBron’s 3rd 3, and Hachimura’s dunk off LeBron’s 9th assist.
All tied at 87 with 8:30 to play. – 12:03 AM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Amazing defensive possession by Peyton Watson, stopping the rim and then rotating out to LeBron to force a violation – 12:02 AM

If LeBron wants one more crack at reaching the summit, he needs to get real about playing with his kid and make a move. – 11:59 PM
Duvalier Johnson @DuvalierJohnson
Feels like LeBron has played every single minute in this one heading into the 4th so he HAS to be gassed. Up to 33 minutes, only to see that Aaron Gordon has played 34 minutes.
Final quarter, it is about who wants it more. – 11:54 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
LeBron James came up hobbling, holding his left ankle after that layup. Didn’t get back on defense and stayed on the floor for the Nuggets’ ensuing possession. – 11:49 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
LeBron James appeared to tweak his left ankle on that last layup. He is staying in the game after re-lacing his sneakers. – 11:49 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Another huge swing, as LeBron wanted a foul at the rim, but didn’t get a call, and Porter Jr. hit a transition 3 to put DEN up 5.
Then LeBron tweaked his ankle on a layup at the other end, but is up and appears to be OK. – 11:49 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
LeBron just landed awkwardly and was holding his leg. He’s now retying his left shoe and walking it off as he grimaces. – 11:49 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
LeBron James comes out of the timeout with an and-1 layup and makes the FT to tie it up. Meanwhile, Jaxson Hayes has checked in for Anthony Davis, who has gone back to the locker room. – 11:46 PM
TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Porter has been spectacular this series. His comfort level in the playoffs is on another level. His shooting is one part, but his rebounding, defense and urgency on both ends have been huge so far.
Going from a four-point play to standing up LeBron in the post is a big leap. – 11:46 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
The game shifted on that extra possession for Denver with LeBron called for the PF battling with Jokic. Since then:
– Jokic 3
– KCP layup
– Hachimura 2
– MPJ layup
– MPJ 3
Davis is struggling with the left shoulder, hasn’t taken a shot. – 11:43 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
That’s a pretty weak call on LeBron. They were both doing the same thing to each other, and Jokic had no chance of getting the ball where it bounced. – 11:40 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron got called for a foul battling Jokic for a defensive rebound, and Jokic hit a 3 on Denver’s extra possession, trimming LAL’s 9-point lead to 6. – 11:39 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron has 8 assists and 0 turnovers tonight, while Jokic has 6 assists to 5 turnovers.
LAL lead 63-56 at the 7:45 mark of the 3rd Q. – 11:35 PM
Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
I dont think KCP could guard LeBron for extended minutes. But he certainly can’t on one ankle. – 11:35 PM
Kendrick Perkins @KendrickPerkins
Keep it simple. Lebron needs to search out KCP and Murray and go straight to the post. Easy offense for the Lakers especially with AD being banged up – 11:34 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
LeBron didn’t attack KCP enough in the post in Game 2 when they put Gordon on AD and Jokic on Rui. Ever since then, he’s gone right down low vs that matchup–sets up the DLo 3. – 11:31 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Nikola Jokic is giving up wide open threes on every single possession trying to play off ball vs LeBron in the post. – 11:30 PM

Feels like LA should be up by 10.

Huge 3 from Aaron Gordon just before the half cuts LAL’s lead in half. We go to the break with LAL up 53-50. AD 16p on 8-of-10 9r; LeBron 10p 7a 4r. DEN: Murray 16p; MPJ 11p; Jokic 8p 11r 4a. – 11:05 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
Small flurry by the Nuggets makes it a 53-50 Lakers lead. Of note: LeBron has played 22 mins, AD 20. AD is eating again, with 16-9. Murray with 16 – 11:05 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Halftime: Lakers 53, Nuggets 50
For the fifth time this series, LA enters halftime with a lead. They outscored Denver 29-22 in the second quarter. AD has 16 points and 9 rebounds. LeBron has 10/4/7. AR has 8 points. DLo has 7. LA has a 26-16 paint points advantage. – 11:05 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Basically think the LeBron/AD PNR involving Jokic needs to be a switch. Even if it leaves Nikola on an island, he’s got to then trust the help behind him and trust that he shrinks enough space with his body to make it difficult for LeBron to drive him to the rim – 10:53 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Lakers just spammed four LeBron-Davis pick and rolls and scored easily on every one of them. LeBron has five assists. Michael Malone takes a rage timeout and immediately starts lamenting the lack of rotation, particularly from the weak side – 10:51 PM

An 11-6 Laker run with Jokic and Davis resting has LAL back in front at 35-34, capped by an and-1 from LeBron. – 10:47 PM

First quarter: Nuggets 28, Lakers 24
Denver closed the first quarter on a 10-2 run. This is the first game they’ve led after the first. AD has 8 points and 4 rebounds. Austin Reaves has 6 points. LeBron has 2/2/2. Rui Hachimura has 3 points on 1-for-7 shooting. DLo is 0-for-2. – 10:36 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Taurean Prince has been very active with his hands defensively early, most recently stripping the ball from Jokic and getting the 5th DEN turnover.

Teams that started the Playoffs with the most pressure:
1. PHX – have no moves left
2. MIL – have no moves left

Early exits could lead to significant front-office, coaching or player changes. – 3:55 PM
He’s eligible to sign a 3-year, $164 max extension with the Lakers, which the franchise is reportedly open to offering (the organization is also strongly considering a coaching change and drafting Bronny James, per reports). “He’s been in this position numerous times in his career,” Davis said in his postgame press conference/exit interview on Monday night at Ball Arena. “He has to make a decision ultimately for himself and his family. I’ll be right there supporting whatever he decides to do. “Pretty sure he’ll come talk to me, tell me what’s going on before he becomes public with the decision. Just keep me in the loop.” -via Clutch Points / April 30, 2024
