Apr 28, 2024, 01:41 AM

The Denver Nuggets secured a commanding 3-0 lead in their playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers with a 112-105 victory in Game 3. Despite trailing at halftime in each game, the Nuggets have shown remarkable resilience, becoming only the fourth team in NBA history to win the first three games of a series after trailing at each halftime. The Lakers, who have now lost 11 consecutive games to Denver, struggled to maintain their lead, particularly in the third quarter where they were outscored 34-22. Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 30 points, but the rest of the team struggled, shooting just 19 for 45. The Nuggets' depth and ability to adjust have been key factors in their success. The Lakers face Game 4 on Saturday, but no NBA team has ever overcome an 0-3 series deficit.
