Nikola Jokic was again his remarkable self, compiling his fourth straight triple-double and sixth of these playoffs with 23 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists.
Jokic has tied the great Wilt Chamberlain with two triple-double feats: the only players with four-straight triple-doubles and the only players with seven triple-doubles in a single postseason.
Despite his team's standout performances Nuggets head coach Michael Malone was incensed in his postgame press conference at the lack of attention his superstar and squad receive.
"What he’s doing is just incredible, but the narrative wasn’t about the Nuggets, the narrative wasn’t about Nikola, the narrative was about the Lakers and their adjustments. So, you put that in your pipe, you smoke it, and you come back. We’re gonna go up 2-0."

The Lakers on the other hand are bruised. They've had chances to win both games. In Game 2 they led for 32 minutes, building an 11-point lead late but failed to come away with a win.
Huge doubts linger over D'Angelo Russell's effectiveness in the series. The seven-year pro is a -41 in 59 minutes on the court. There is also huge concern surrounding LeBron James' shooting from the outside. LeBron has missed 19 consecutive 3-pointers in the fourth quarter dating back to Game 2 of the first round.
Can Los Angeles get back on track with a home win, or will Denver move one step closer to a spot in the 2023 NBA Finals?
