Lakers' Playoff Hopes Dwindle Against Resilient Nuggets.
TL;DR Summary
The Los Angeles Lakers are on the brink of elimination from the NBA playoffs after a 119-108 defeat to the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals. LeBron James scored 23 points, but it wasn't enough to make up for the gap between the two teams. The Lakers are now behind 3-0 in the series, and no team in NBA history has ever come back from such a deficit in the playoffs. James, who is 38, can't do for the Lakers what he did for the Cavaliers in 2007 or against the Celtics in 2018.
