Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Full Highlights 1st QTR | Mar 2 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

Break playing great basketball they’ve won five in a row meanwhile the Lakers have had an excellent February as Doris mentioned at the top at 9 and three and the Nuggets meanwhile have dominated the Lakers recently they won the first two meetings of the Season between them and of course had the sweep

In the Western Conference Finals so that was as close a sweep as you can get in terms of close games haimura is on yic and scores easily so they empty that side of the floor with ruy Che him he takes him right down to the post and an easy bucket

Early Lakers have played well at home this year they’re 21 and nine had a couple of good wins this week on this court although one of them was a road game the Clipper game D’Angelo Russell no hesitation and Michael Porter Jr the rebound he’s had some excellent games recently having a terrific

Season Denver we know how great they are at home 24 and five on the road three games over 500 17 and 14 right to yic the quick shot is good James help came a little bit late that’s a hard matchup for Ru haimura well they want Anthony Davis to be on that help

Side unfortunately that time LeBron James just a little too late when he was the low man air ball on the first shot attempt tonight nuggets had a good win against their finals opponent on Thursday against Miami that was in Denver and now playing their Western Conference opponent from last year Jamal Murray

Misses that Murray was questionable tonight with a sprain dle had to lead the game Thursday night we got a lot of treatment feeling good Davis goes right at jic shot won’t go pter another rebound yeah whistle away from the ball it’s going to go against the Lakers Doris what’s what’s been the difference

For the Nuggets since the allar break they it’s powerful he called them quiet Giant sence because that’s who they are sort of under the radar not talked about a ton but excellent Team all lost out of bounds Brown couldn’t handle a pass and a turn over JJ one thing I’m I’m really interested

At because there’s a lot of bston Denver about the bench tonight you’re down the best defender the guy we least talk about for for Denver in kcp Christian Brown’s got a lot of responsibility on him tonight and moving forward I’m curious how he reacts well we saw last year

Particularly in that Miami Heat finals series he can rise to the moment it’s pyton Watson for me that has got to play a little better and and Mike Malone talked in in the pregame about him continuing to gain his trust oh beautiful pass reades to Davis the other point I’d make on that

Door is Aaron Gordon played the backup five all last year during the playoffs they have hardly ever gone to that lineup this season Brown turns it over had nowhere to go quickly russle down the other end lays it up and in defense turning to offense this recent stretch the 9 and

Three in February was mostly because of the offense and the Lakers hoping to kind of turn it around defensively the key to me one of the keys is D’Angelo Russell he’s playing the best basketball of his career he’s been a consistent third scorer for them Austin Reeves the

Last 12 13 games feels like he’s reached another level yic now Davis lurking to come help yic spins right into the double team and there’s what you talked about JJ a nice block from Anthony Davis Reeves faked the pass hachimura up top three-pointers [Applause] good that’s what Darin ham loves to see

An aggressive and confident ruy haimura looking for a shot and nine straight points now for the Lakers Michael Porter connects out of three Porter coming off an excellent game on Thursday had 30 points 11 rebounds against the Heat ball deflected turnover Gordon goes right at James Christian Brown lines up the three rebound

Deflected James throws a knuckle ball out to Reeves open three and Reeves knocked it down that’s massive and this is what I’m talking about with him reaching another level wide open threes for much of the year he really was below 40% he’s an excellent shooter all of a sudden those

Open threes are starting to fall for him yic surveying backs in now has plenty of room knocks down another shot in the paint he’s already taken five shots very aggressive looking for a shot early and if he can get to that fade away that little fall away from 5 to 7 feet Davis

Can’t be there as the help Defender he’s got the size on hachimura as hachimura with the beautiful spin move but joic can just shoot right over the top well four of the five starters have scored for the Lakers the one is the guy that’s going for 40,000 LeBron James has not as

Porter knocks down another so Porter his second three-pointer nuggets have hit five of their first nine back within two Lakers have hit six of their first nine aim Mora wants it he’s got Murray on him on the switch no hesitation ruy haimura three for three from the field they’ve hit their last seven Shots Reeves guarding Murray Murray back up top yic fakes drives this time on Davis stops shot won’t go Davis grabs the [Applause] rebound James drives goes down the lane layup Murray chased by Reeves finds a good opening jump shot won’t go Davis calls in another rebound ball deflected still Laker

Ball LeBron James made some history the other night that 21-point deficit in the fourth quarter against the Clippers that was the biggest fourth quarter deficit that he’s ever played in and came back and one and he was magnificent in that fourth quarter Reeves got fouled shot short you’re going so that’s what made

Him laugh before before oh well that would only stop him obviously from the 40,000 but at least for tonight but it would stop the consecutive games with 10 points plus beautiful shot there from yic already three shots in the paint four overall it’s interesting they’re going ruy cuz

In the first two matchups it was primarily ad and yic had great success over 50% shooting against him but I I’m curious about this ru match up Jamal Murray shaken up and he just grabbed his right ankle James knocks down the three so now five points for LeBron

James four left to go to 40,000 lurry seems okay down at this end and it’s the right ankle he had problems with him had to lead the game the other night L pass to Murray off of the corner shot clock winding down muray aware of that two to shoot just gets it

Off in time well defended that time from Reeves but yic the offensive rebound and put back that’s what happens when you get in rotation like that you’re not going to have the defensive rebounding position and Nia yic crashes the boards good second effort there from joic 10 points already for

Joic James lobs it up beautiful pass on the one-handed slam from Anthony Davis Lake have 10 assists already James has three of them Reeves has five assists some terrific team basketball Gordon three-pointer misses
