'We have to play mistake-free basketball,' James said. Perfection, of course, isn't possible...James was transcendent, controlling all the action, while Anthony Davis made the most of the Nuggets' suspect rim protection. But in the big takeaway from a 114-103 Game 1 loss, the Lakers got a reminder.
Turnovers fueled an 8-0 run...before breakdowns on both ends of the court in the third quarter put the Lakers in a bad position...Davis scored 32 points but got beat in transition defense. James had 27 points but had seven turnovers.
