The Lakers faced the Nuggets without several key players, including LeBron James and Luka Dončić. Despite these challenges, the game remained competitive, with the Lakers almost pulling off an upset. It took a last-second shot from Jamal Murray to clinch the win for the Nuggets. Head Coach JJ Redick praised the team's fight and resilience, particularly after a poor start in the second half. Players like Austin Reaves and Dalton Knecht stepped up, showing that this Lakers team has a different competitive spirit against strong opponents.
I'm proud of the group for their level of fight and resiliency, particularly not getting off to a great start in the second half...and then fighting back and taking the lead.
Redick has said before that playing hard is the cheat code to winning in the NBA, and this game is a great example.
Austin Reaves is a big reason LA was in that position. He led the charge, scoring 37 points.
It's clear that while the result may have been what Los Angeles fans have seen far too often against Denver...these Lakers are different.
