LeBron Instant Reaction To Lakers Going Down 0-3 To Nuggets

The Los Angeles Lakers worked really hard to get deep into the postseason, but they don’t have much luck in the series against the Denver Nuggets. They lost three straight games and let’s just say it won’t be easy getting out of this one. LeBron James didn’t say much following the third loss to the Nuggets, but he did play with his response.

The Lakers have to win the next game otherwise they will be forced to start with their offseason plans a little earlier than expected. The king of basketball didn’t jump into conclusions and definitely played a careful game with the media. According to him, he and his players have to take it one game at a time and focus on their next match. Beating the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals won’t be easy, but the Lakers will give their best to make it work.

“Just gotta get one,” LeBron said. “One at a time. Just focus on Game 4. That’s all you can think about.”

LeBron: "Just gotta get one. One at a time. Just focus on Game 4. That's all you can think about."

LeBron and Co. have to beat the Nuggets in Game 4

The Lakers looked good early in the game, but the Nuggets gained full control over the situation. Denver celebrated a 14-point lead in the second quarter and things got really messy. Lakers players tried to get back on the right track and showed aggressiveness in the third quarter, but it didn’t work.

Jamal Murray had a monster performance in the first half of the game. He finished the night with 30 points. Nikola Jokic played his usual game and helped the Nuggets seal the deal. Denver role players showed efficient performance throughout the entire game. Former Lakers player Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 17 points against his former team.

LeBron wasn’t really efficient from the 3-point line and missed six of nine attempts from deep. This point has become a real threat for the purple and gold. The Lakers made 31.3 percent of their attempts from this line. It doesn’t look good for the team and players need consistency, aggressiveness, and a miracle to make things work in Game 4.
