The Los Angeles Lakers will have one more chance to salvage what has turned into a promising season when they take the court against the Denver Nuggets on Monday. They trail the Western Conference Finals 3-0 and will not want to get swept in front of their home fans.
Guard Jamal Murray has chewed them up and spit them out so far, and he has scored 31, 37 and 37 points in the first three games of the series. But another problem has been Nikola Jokic, the two-time MVP who is averaging 27.0 points a game in the series and has already had two triple-doubles.
