Nuggets are 0-1 and looking a victory at Staples Center

 

It was 1985, exactly on May 4 when the Nuggets defeated the Lakers on the second game of the postseason, and it seems like that date will stay true for Denver who plays against Los Angeles at the Staples Center after being defeated by the Lakers with a score of 128-114.

This is the fourth time that Nuggets and Lakers face each others on the playoffs, with a flawless 3-0 record for Los Angeles, and as of now, Los Angeles have 8 straight victories playing at home, and with Kobe Bryant playing at his best, Los Angeles are expected to come up with a second victory.

But nothing is said and done and Allen Iverson along with Carmelo Anthony are scoring an average of 30 points per game, if they managed to stay at the same level and if the Nuggets can change their direction concerning their previous playoff appearences where they gotten eliminated in the first round 4 the last 5 NBA seasons, then the chance is there for a team that is dreaming of a first NBA championship.

Kobe scored only 2 points in the first quarter and had 14 in the last period for a total of 32, while team mate Pau Gasol finished with 36 against a Nuggets team that is is feeling the pressure of winning a road game that can bring some calm when they fly home for games 3 and 4 of the series.
