After the Lakers lost Game 3 of the Western Conference finals to the Nuggets Saturday night, LeBron James had one simple message to his team that now faces a nearly impossible task: overcoming a 3–0 series deficit.
“Just gotta get one,” James said after the 119–108 loss. “Just one at a time. Just focus on Game 4 and that’s all you can really think about.”
No team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3–0 deficit, but James has this historic achievement in his sights.
