Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Full Highlights 3rd QTR | Mar 2 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

11 against ruy haimura what do the Lakers decide to do with him here in the second half I’m curious to see it James looking finds Anthony Davis huge Advantage Davis makes full advantage 15 points now for Anthony Davis lead up to 10 largest lead in that first half

Lakers had it and it was 11 jic finds brown brown kicks it out Michael Porter connects Porter had a hot start and that continues he’s seven for seven as we check in with Lisa hey Mike well nuggets assistant David adman repeated a lot of what Michael Malone

Told us at the end of the first quarter that the defense just hasn’t been good enough especially the pick and roll defense he said we gave up 10 points to the roller 11 to the ball handler we’ve got to and let’s not Overlook the fact that kcp cavius Caldwell Pope not in the

Lineup tonight he’s just he’s so important on the ball in their pick and roll defense they they just haven’t had enough pressure and the Lakers have been able to carve them up so far and of course the Lakers missing one of their Jared Vanderbilt still out you guys

Talked about a little bit in the first half he will come back for the end of the regular season and in today’s NBA where it’s so hard to defend losing those guys can be critical haimura misses and then yic hands it to Murray Murray find some room Davis grabs another rebounds got seven

Of those this a good stretch for the Lakers 10 of 12 games are home the other two on the other night against the Clippers so basically a home game and the only other one that’s not considered a home game is in Sacramento so they’re not leaving California for a while James

Methodically lays it in so Christian Brown got attacked by ruy hachimura held up in the post LeBron James a different animal down there just a completely different assignment did you see his eyes there the whole time he’s backing him down he’s just waiting on the double team never came easy to it doesn’t

Happen very often Murray lays it up and in now nine points now for Murray haimura back to Davis Davis off balance shupper can’t get it pursues the rebound but Gordon grabs it first now Murray Porter jump shot eight for eight from the field and a lot of these are one dribble pull-ups no wasted motion get a good first step get into your shot

Before the defense can react he’s done a really good job with that Russell can’t get that one to go Murray with a rebound Denver back within three p the leading T in the game now Murray gets inside reverse wild shot can’t get it the fall James the rebound stolen by

Brown it’s only the third Laker turnover they’re leaving Gordon open three-pointer that one well too strong and James grabs the [Applause] board Rees up top ruy haimura connects out of [Applause] three 16 for haimura ball poked away from aimore Gordon gets it Back crossover drives gets inside and backs it home wow that’s strength on strength right there and it’s the deceleration from Aaron Gordon that’s what allowed him to shoot that shot right at the last moment moment he just pumped the brakes after he created separate per game that is not a small sample

Size Gordon shot well short G he got hit good ball now from Porter James stolen by Murray Murray was waiting for him to make that pass and an easy bucket down the other end doesn’t feel like Denver has been in that championship gear that we’ve seen

Them over the five games they’re on the road they’re within four Michael Malone always talks about can you grind it when you don’t have your best stuff good teams figure it out Russell fake Russell fires and Porter with the board Porter’s got eight rebounds to go with a 20

Points just playing some terrific basketball recently Murray gets inside side scoop play Bang shot is good and it’s a two-point game darn H wants to call first half plus but the defending champs on the comeback Trail James chased by Gordon Falling Away shot short and Porter another rebound Murray spins against Russell

Left-handed bangs it off the glass where just waited for the opportunity there he’s cooking here Mike he has scored or assisted on 12 of the 17 in the third he can take [Applause] over Davis his spin move shot short jic leading the break the other way throws it ahead to brown brown back to Porter Porter up top yic wide open he’s going to take the three-pointer he’s 0 for four from three as they pass the Midway Point here in the

Third Porter has a height advantage on Russell but they can’t get it to him because Davis is lurking yage bank shot in and out Haim Moore to Reeves Reeves quick release hits the three all five starters now in double figures for the Lakers Gordon gets inside well defended

By Davis Gordon gets the rebound Porter is doubled yic off the bounce fakes drives flips it up and in and he’s yelling at Billy Kennedy thought he got hit Rees nice fake drive and finish Austin Reeves now with 14 points see the reluctance from Nia yic to come off the

Body of Anthony Davis they’ve been burned a couple of times when he’s done that with the dunk at the Cup lurry having a big third quarter finds yic once again that beautiful touch I think that’s my favorite shot he shoots the floater really the the quick catch in the middle of the paint and then the high one-handed floater it’s Unstoppable Brees me why with a gorgeous pass that’s now 24

Assists for the Lakers they’re back up by three are we seeing just great offensive execution or are we seeing some lackluster defense guys it hasn’t felt like Denver has impacted didn’t W he back in Russell picked up his first foul is out and yic finally knocks down a three missed his

First four now has 23 points nuggets have tied it again Denver had an early lead in the opening Minutes Davis comes up short Gordon grabs another
