1.You called a Lakers sweep? Sweep this, Sir Charles. Even when it looks easy, against LeBron James in the postseason, it’s never easy. The Lakers forced six consecutive turnovers, Los Angeles switched to a 2-3 zone, and the 1 seed went on a 19-2 run early in the fourth quarter, nearly wiping out a 20-point Denver lead in about four minutes. With the Nuggets ahead 103-99, Jamal Murray notched the last word by dropping two massive treys to put a huge win on ice. It’s a series now, Charles Barkley. It was a slog to get there, but it’s a series, baby.
2. Who’s buried in Jerami Grant’s tomb? When the Lakers pushed back to open the second half, cutting the Denver lead to six, Grant hit a free throw, a 3-pointer, and converted a fast-break layup with King James riding his back four minutes into the third quarter to push the Nuggets lead back to double-digits, 71-59. The forward had 12 points in the quarter, notching 26 for the game. Even more impressively, Grant took a charge from Anthony Davis with 1:48 left in the third quarter to stymie a key Lakers possession.
3. Bench is back, baby! The Lake Show has the A.J. Pierzynski of benches — you hate a roster that has Dwight Howard, Rajon Rondo and Kyle Kuzma leading the second unit, but you’d love ‘em if they were wearing your colors. The Nuggets’ depth finally got some punches to land against Los Angeles’ savvy vets Tuesday, as Denver’s bench outscored the Lakers 21-14 in the first half. Monte Morris’ 12 points and Michael Porter Jr’.s nine at the break helped the 3 seed take a 10-point cushion into the second half.
