It was close but no cigar for the Lakers, who c⭕ame painfully close to beating the Nuggets in Game 2 but fell short thanks to Denver's second-half comeback.
The Jamal Murray winner with Anthony Davis falling onto the Nuggets bench was a flamengo x fluminense:gut-punching way to lose, but D'♕Angelo Russell remained 🐈optimistic even in defeat.
"Next game," Russell said after Game 2. "Next game. Like I said, I like where we're at. We did good things that gave us an opportunity to win all night. It came down to some things that we really couldn't control. I like our fight." Russell certainly put the Lakers in a position to win. He was sensational in his shooting, making seven 3-pointers. His swagger was through the roof. He made basket after basket and jogged back on defense with his mouthguard hanging out, doing his best Steph Curry impression.D'Angelo Russell is 6/7 from three — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport)
In the first half, the Lakers also won the rebounding battle, which head coach Darvin Ham stressed was an flamengo x fl🌃uminense:area to improve after Game 1.
There's a Lakers win in a matchup against the Nuggets. Los Angeles just needs to unlock it.If the Lakers can get flamen🌠go x fluminense:more offensiv🍒e production from Austin Reaves, slow down Jokic as much as possible and Russell stays hot from the field, they'll be in a position to flamengo x fluminense:cꦦlose the Nuggets out in crunch time again. Hopefully, if they have a chance to beat Denve🌳r at home, ♊they can get it done.
