LeBron, when asked if he’s given thought to tonight being the last game he’s played as a Laker:
“Uhhh, I’m not gonna answer that. Appreciate it.” – 1:22 AM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
LeBron James when asked if he had any consideration that tonight would be his last game with the Lakers: “Uhhhh, I’m not going to answer that.”
And then the press conference finished. – 1:20 AM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
LeBron James’ response when asked if there was any thought tonight would be his last game with the Lakers: “I’m not going to answer that. Appreciate it.” – 1:20 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron first gave credit to Denver.
Asked if he’s had initial thoughts about what comes next, he said first he’ll focus on his family and what’s going on with them, then get ready to report to @usabasketball for the Olympics.
Hasn’t thought about next NBA season yet. – 1:20 AM

LeBron, when asked if tonight could’ve been his last game as a Laker:
“Uhhh, I’m not gonna answer that. Appreciate it.” – 1:20 AM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
LeBron on if he had any thought tonight that this was his final game as a Laker: “I’m not gonna answer that. I appreciate it.” – 1:19 AM
TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
I deeply enjoyed watching LeBron be damn near apex-LeBron this series. Doing this at 39 does not make sense to me but I’m constantly in awe of it. – 12:55 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
Zach Kram @zachkram
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.
– LeBron in 2018
– Turkoglu in 2009
– Horry in 2002
Murray is the first to do it twice in the same series. – 12:32 AM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
The Nuggets beat the Lakers on opening night.
The Nuggets beat the Lakers the night the franchise unveiled Kobe Bryant’s statue.
The Nuggets beat the Lakers the night LeBron James became the first player to reach 40,000 points.
The Nuggets beat the Lakers to end their season. – 12:31 AM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
The Nuggets win, 108-106, in one of the best first round games you’re ever going to see.
Murray 32 pts 7 ast; Jokic 25 pts 20 reb 9 ast; MPJ 26 pts
LeBron 30 pts 11 ast 9 reb 4 stl; Reaves 19 pts 4 ast; AD 17 pts on 8-of-11 15 reb 4 ast; Rui 15 pts 5 reb; D-Lo 14 pts 6 ast – 12:29 AM
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.
The Nuggets win Game 2 and Game 5 on game-winners. The difference is the Game 3 win in LA – 12:27 AM
Jorge Sierra @hoopshype

2024: ??? – 12:27 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Missed free throws from the Lakers have been a major factor tonight, but LeBron hit the two biggest ones to tie the game with 26.3 seconds left.
LAL now 18 for 27. – 12:24 AM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
LeBron misses on Jokic, everyone jogs back, Jokic gets the board and forces Rui to match up with him and scores before the defense is set. – 12:21 AM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
Players with 40-plus minutes tonight as we near the final 3 minutes of the 4th Q: the 25-year-old Michael Porter Jr., the 28-year-old Aaron Gordon, the 39-year-old LeBron James – 12:16 AM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
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
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
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
Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
Crazy how all these games feel similar… Lakers hold a 3-point lead heading into halftime.
Feels like LA should be up by 10.
AD (16 pts, 9 rebs) and LeBron (10 pts, 7 asts, 4 rebs, 3 stls) doin work as per usual. – 11:09 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
HALFTIME: Lakers 53, Nuggets 50.
Anthony Davis: 16 points (8-10 shooting), nine rebounds. LeBron James: 10 points, seven assists, four rebounds.
Nuggets with nine turnovers, including four from Jokic and three from Gordon. – 11:08 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
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
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
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
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
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.
LAL up 24-18 after LeBron scored on the other end. – 10:31 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
D’Lo and LeBron with the rare double-challenge on that corner three from KCP! It’s officially “Not F—ing Around Time,” kids!!! AK – 10:18 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron, Davis, Vanderbilt and Wood are all available.
Wood was cleared to play in Game 4 and was a DNP, and this is the first time Vanderbilt is officially available. – 9:16 PM
Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
Anthony Davis (left wrist sprain), LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) and Jarred Vanderbilt (right midfoot sprain) have been upgraded to AVAILABLE for tonight’s game at Denver. – 9:10 PM
Anil Gogna @AnilGognaNBA
Teams that started the Playoffs with the most pressure:
1. PHX – have no moves left
2. MIL – have no moves left
3. LAC – PG & Harden could both be FAs
4. LAL – could impact LeBron’s future with LA
Early exits could lead to significant front-office, coaching or player changes. – 3:55 PM
Aran Smith @nbadraftnet
Every NBA team fan base when they don’t win the championship this season:
Draft Bronny so LeBron can sign for a minimum deal with _ team.
Dear Fans:
LeBron James has a $51.415 Million player option for next year. League minimum $2.72 Million
Would you take that kind of pay cut? – 1:45 PM

Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
Before Round 2 the following guys could be out of the playoffs: KD, Booker, LeBron, AD, Zion, Butler, Bam, Embiid, Maxey, Giannis, Dame, Fox, Sabonis and Curry, plus Mitchell or Paolo, and either Luka/Kyrie or Kawhi/PG/Harden. That’s a shitload of stars! – 11:33 AM
