The first chapter of the 2023 Western Conference FinalsThe Nuggets escaped Game 1 with a riveting 132-126 win over the Lakers on Tuesday. Still unbeaten at home in these playoffs, Denver has an opportunity to move the series to Los Angeles with a 2-0 lead Thursday at Ball Arena.: The Lakers must have watched the film of Aaron Gordon guarding Karl-Anthony Towns and Kevin Durant in the first two rounds, because they wanted none of that.
Regardless, when Gordon was gone, James rolled — making the decision even more baffling when, down 129-126 in the final minute, the King pulled up and missed a contested 3-pointer over Murray instead of driving.The Nuggets took thorough advantage of Darvin Ham’s three-guard lineup in the first quarter Tuesday, overwhelming Los Angeles with length. Michael Porter Jr. had a strong start with Austin Reaves defending him. Rebounding was dramatically skewed, 19-3, in Denver’s favor early.
