DENVER — Now what? What do the Lakers do now?
The best-of-seven series shifts to Crypto.com Arena for Games 3 and 4 on Saturday and Monday. The Lakers have won all six playoff games on their home court, including clinching Game 6 victories over the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round and the Golden State Warriors in the second. “I’ve been in a lot of these wars, man, both as a player and a coach and not going to get discouraged, you know what I mean?” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said of the challenges ahead. “They took care of business on their home floor. We have to go do the same.”
“I mean, he can shoot all he wants,” Reaves said of the four-time NBA champion. “It’s LeBron James. I don’t think anybody bats an eye when he shoots a shot or questions his shot. So, yeah, we want him taking whatever he feels comfortable with, just because he’s a winning basketball player for his whole career and that’s all he wants to do, he wants to win.”
