The Los Angeles Lakers, yet again, have fallen into an 0-3 playoff deficit against the Denver Nuggets, this time in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
A year ago, the Nuggets swept them in the Western Conference Finals and have now bested the Lakers 11 straight times. But LeBron James is trying to keep hope.
“You just take it one game at a time, at this point,” he told reporters when asked if the Lakers believe they could become the first team in NBA history to ever pull off the reverse-sweep (5:52 mark). “You lose, you go home, so you come out with the mindset, let’s get one. Force a Game 5, and then we go from there. As long as you still have life, then you always have belief. I just think you play until the wheels fall off. That’s what it’s always about, for me.”
“Our focus, and our mental right now, is trying to get one,” Anthony Davis added. “Trying to get a game on Saturday and then go from there. We can’t focus on [the 11-game losing streak to Denver], our focus is on trying to get better. From tonight, learn from our mistakes and try to get a win on Saturday.”
It’s do or die time for these Lakers, who now have the daunting task of winning four straight games against the defending champions. It isn’t impossible, but it sure feels incredibly improbable.
